Piracetam: Cycling with Adderall/Dexederine? Taking Piracet

Hi everyone! I'm in a bit of a rush so I will make this quick and simple.

Suppose an individual is prescribed 30mg adderall xr and 10mg dexedrine ir per day. Actual daily dose varies, with the current goal being to lower it and work towards at least 2 days off per week. The prescription is for ADHD. The individual understands that there is a risk of exicitoxicity when combining amps with racetams, but can't deny the lasting, beneficial effects attained through the use of noots such as piracetam. Can a balance be achieved that allows one to benefit from the piracetam without risking neuron death, and at the same time reducing tolerance to, dosage of, and therefore damage from the amps?

I have been wondering about the relative safety of the following:

1) Taking piracetam 6+ hours after ingesting the amps. I have read that the risk of neuron death is due in part to piracetam sensitizing neurons, and this causing them to fire excessively when amps come into play. Can the risk of damage be significantly reduced, then, by using low doses of piracetam after amps have worn off or are starting to wear off? What about doing this only with IR Dexedrine, so for example 20mg of dexedrine at 8am, then 800-1600mg of piracetam (or less, or more...I have actually found significantly lower doses to sometimes be the sweet spot) around 2pm?

2) Cycling ADHD meds with piracetam. By this I mean, for example, 4 days on the amps and 3 on piracetam. Thanks to rarely having a full day off, much less 2 in a row, these would be alternated. A sample schedule:
Day 1 & 2: Adderall/dexedrine
Day 3: Piracetam (with choline source)
Day 4: Adderall/dexedrine
Day 5: Piracetam
Day 6: Adderall/dexedrine
Day 7: Piracetam

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I have use piracetam extensively in the past, as well as other racetams and nootropics, and have been greatly missing their effects. I am especially interested to hear of any experiences with cycling amps and racetams, and the perceived effects. I have on a couple occasions combined piracetam with the ADHD medications and experienced a feeling I can only describe as "toxic". That was enough to make me back off in combination with all that I have read on the subject. Also, I did take a day off the ADHD medication during which I took piracetam. The following day, medication was notably more effective. This could have been due to other factors, but led to a growing interest in the idea of cycling the two.

Thanks in advance.
 
Hazardous symptoms are negligable at best.

Piracetam is nootropic it should counter the negative symptoms of amphetamines.

At the very worst it will synergize to make you a little more tweaked out than normal, but if you want my opinion you should cycle both as you intended, as well as incorporating an NMDA antagonist such as memantine to inhibit tolerances to both and decrease neurotoxicity.
