I don't think it would work at all. Reserpine depletes stores of the monoamines. Therefore when you subsequently take a stimulant there would be less neurotransmitter to be released in response to the stimulant..
I'm not sure why you would approach it this way. If you want something to produce a temporary improvement in mood, there are easier ways.
The idea is that the brain continually tries to regulate itself to produce an even mood. Sure, if you want to suffer, you could take a whole lot of neuroleptics then withdrawl from them, but why. The area under the mood/time graph would probably be no different.
I'd personally recomend taking omega-3. These fatty acids can work to restore the integrity and responsivness of the serotonin/dopamine receptors. THey won't give you a high, but they can help keep the mood in a good place.
