No way to predict if it would work with you or not, but it makes sense that if Ritalin worked then find a way to keep it working. The one and only med I know of with that potential is Memantine. I might not have mentioned it except that the few stories I've heard about it combined with stimulants were rather spectacular. Compared to maois, other cocktails, or whatever route you might go, Memantine is benign in comparison and when it works it does so fairly quickly.

Possibly I can try to explain this to my less-than-up-on-new-combinations Psychiatrist if/when necessary.
