I've been diagnosed with dysthymia, recurring depressive episodes and ADHD-PI. Now my doctor prescribed me Moclobemide for the dysthymia and depression a few weeks ago, and now at 450mg it slowly seems to start working - although it's too early to be sure about that, I think.
Anyway: Since methylphenidate doesn't help with my ADHD I'm currently looking for alternatives, which is not that easy since only Methylphenidate is used "on-label" for adult ADHD in Germany, and the "classic stimulants" are very seldom prescriped, even less for adults. So while trying to find a doctor I tried to find out wether combining Moclobemide with amphetamines would be a possibility. Google searches lead mostly to "extremely dangerous-posts", but many of those posts or reports seemed to assume Moclobemide was a "traditional" MAOI, or were about combination with MDMA, which, as far as I know, has much more effect on serotonine, which might explain the warnings.
Only more specific things I've found were:

And what about D/L-Amphetamine? Would the L-Amphetamine have more chance of screwing with the blood pressure?
Maybe someone here has experience with the combination or even some deeper knowledge of why it should be OK or not.
