Reducing stim (adderall) neurotoxicity/dopamine depletion+MAOIs

[StompIso]

So we know that amph is neurotoxic, which can be counteracted with oxidants (for me: q-10, 1 g vit c, ginkgo, red grapes+seeds, vit e, or melatonin/5-HTP)

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition by ginkgo was reported in one animal study, but has not been confirmed in humans. In theory, if taken with MAOI drugs, such as ... additive effects and side effects may occur. ...ginkgo may also add to the effects of SSRI antidepressants such as sertraline (Zoloft®), with an increased risk of causing serotonin syndrome, a condition characterized by stiff muscles, fast heart rate, hyperthermia, restlessness, and sweating.

Antidepressant medications -- Taking ginkgo along with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs) antidepressants... may cause serotonin syndrome. This condition is characterized by rigidity, tachycardia (fast heart rate), hyperthermia (low body temperature), restlessness, and diaphoresis (sweating). Ginkgo may enhance the effects (both good and bad) of antidepressant medications known as MAOIs, such as phenelzine (Nardil).

Even if that all is blown out of proportion, I still wouldn't take Ginkgo extract.
