(Dex-Amp is not a RIMA or reversable MAO but Moclobemide is and potentiates the effects of the Dex markedly)!
Yeah, that's the tricky part, patients played a big part here.
I went to see a Dr who specialised in ADHD to get the Dexamphetamine on script - I was deemed/tested as strongly ADD inattentive. This one is great if you can get this Rx'ed. Dex certainly is pro-social and works much better if you take two days a week off to satve off tolerance.
Then through my regular GP here in NZ I got Moclobemide scripted (is v safe - and if your patient you can work your Doc so you can have 900mg a day - especially for SAD). I had bulk of this left over when I asked to try the Lexapro (Moclobemide did squat for Depression but great for Depression, ADD, motivation and for avoiding SSRI induced apathy when in combination with the Dex) which is perfect for Depression. I combined this with 'low dose' Lexapro
This 'MOCLOBEMIDE + DEXAMPHETAMINE + low dose LEXAPRO' works wonders!
Hope this helps some :)
