In reply to Ritalin + Trivistal, interactions? both Dopamine, posted by AdamCanada on February 4, 2008, at 21:52:28
No evidence whatsoever that I know of that the combination would be toxic, or of problems from other dopamine agonists when combined with stimulants. It is likely that the action of both compounds would be potentiated, however. So do what you feel is correct. I personally would trial both together.

It's hard to give a great answer without knowing more information. If you were prone to high-energy psychosis or mania, for instance, I probably wouldn't combine the two. But for classic inattentive ADD-type symptomology the combination could be quite useful.
