In the past, most investigations lasted for 8 weeks or less. I guess things haven't changed that much.

> I know my p-doc wouldn't augment Parnate with a stimulant.

That's too bad. It is generally safe to do this, provided that you start with a low dosage and, perhaps, monitor blood pressure immediately after the first dose. However, in your case, it might lead to a worsening of your untoward reaction to Parnate.

> I'm beginning to grow a little bit concerned that I'm devoting a lot of time and pain and effort to a medication that won't sufficiently improve my ADHD (once the stimulant effect poops out).

Without more information, I would say that this is a legitimate concern.
