> 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.

I do not quite understand "antagonise" could you explain simply?
Amisulpride caused prolactin problems in the past. I had to discontinue.Not sure about Selegiline or rasagiline but someone else said they had taken it with amineptine. Will consider. With consideration to my cognitive impairment this looks attractive. Which one? Need to check out memantine.
Barring the drugs you mentioned 5-HT2A-receptor antagonism I am not familiar enough to say either way if I have tried one. Certainly not the two you mentioned. IF I end up tryng Parnate again which is likely I want to revisit this.Thanks ro the advise,
