At first, a potent dopaminergic stimulant like methylphenidate was enough on its own. Last time I checked, however, I needed a sizeable (maybe 500 mg) dose of caffeine in addition.

Not directly, but indirectly, by relieving my apathy, which comes with poverty of thought, there was simply a tremendous quantity of additional (beyond apathy) thoughts, some of which sometimes turning into delusions. So, with stimulants, there is simply much more opportunity for delusions to form -- at least if they provide relief from baseline apathy. But it's worth it. (Very few of the delusions were actually problematic.)
