>Abilify may augment, or it may antagonise. Amisulpride or sulpiride, at low doses, would presumably augment or do nothing, so I would try those first (they may augment Ritalin too). Selegiline and rasagiline may also be of interest as additions. Last, but not least, memantine has in several cases been effective in preventing tolerance to stimulants, but in my experience it's more useful than that, and it's certainly worthy of consideration for almost anyone who responds well to stimulants - or amineptine.

>Did you try anything with serotonin 5-HT2A-receptor antagonism? Cyproheptadine (Periactin) has that property in addition to being a sedating antihistamine. If required, combining such an agent with a benzodiazepine or Z-drug would be possible.
