I think that the combination of lithium and a stimulant may help to prevent tollerance.
One mechanism of stim tollerance is a lowering of brain n-acetyl-aspartate with long term use.
Lithium can reverse this effect, but will markedly reduce many of the subjective effects of a stimulant.
I don't know many good cases unfortunately. I don't know anyone who has taken it as prescribed.
