I think I would disagree with Elizabeth on the grounds that most ADs are incomplete, and I, for one, can't live without supplemented dopamine--and am (damn) highly allergic to Wellbutrin.
In my view, augmenting is rounding out the package, in one aspect or another--or it is the mysterious "booster" effect one drug can have for another, or synergistic.
I don't like the word stimulant, because it suggests a certain affect. For me and others with ADD and like conditions, Dex and similar meds are "organizing." While some theorize that they do indeed stimulate the left brain executive function to keep up with rock and roll right brain, that, in the end, has a "normalizing" effect.
In my experience, the fact that Dex and Adderall can leave one jazzed, depending on dose, is thorougly beside the point of their real purpose, and those effects should be dealt with on that basis, not as a contraindication.
