Well i should have used the term "reduced" dopamine instead of "deplete".
It takes a while for receptors to upregulate or downregulate. In my experience it takes about 2 weeks for this to occur. So when i stop the reserpine, the receptors will be upregulated for a while. After i have withdrawn from the reserpine, the dopamine should rebound to levels before treatment (in 48-72 hours). While the receptors are still upregulated. Taking adderall will cause an even greater increase in dopaminergic activity (if it is needed at all). I mean when i withdrew from the ssri I felt really good for a long time (almost 3 weeks). So i think it is worth a shot.
