Maybe the Abilifry will work or something.

I have to agree with bluebicycle.....adding a stim is counterintuitive. Normally stimulants can cause psychosis in people prone to it, which is why my docs won’t let me touch them, thus my fish oil cure instead of a real med.
Have you had genetics done or something where he knows they’re broken? For me it’s part of the nmda pathway which feeds into dopamine that’s broken.
I guess I’m wondering if you have a genius pdoc or just a quack. The partial agonists like abilify work by binding strongly and still blocking normal dopamine while providing a little bit of stimulation. Stimulants just turn on the tap.
