Hi!

I'm on Venlafaxine (225mg/d) and Amisulpride (200mg/d) (and 3200-5000mg/d Piracetam) because of depression and (only negative symptoms of) schizophrenia.
Will there be an interaction between N and D releasing agents or reuptake inhibitos like Methylphenidate? I don't worry much about the Amisul. because it doesn't affect the D receptors that much at this dosage (right? at least no real blocking and not much more activity...), but i worry about the NRI-properies of Venla., since it increases my tolerance to N release. The GHB and S receptors should'nt (affected by both drugs respectively) be an issue here, right?

Is there less recreational potential in stimulants (NDRIs and NDRAs) if i continue to take my medication?

The Piracetam has only a slight potentiation effect - if any...?

Thanks for any advise!

Basic drug combination questions go to BDD.

For most people, mixing SNRI drugs and stimulants is fine as long as you keep the stimulant dose reasonable. You shouln't concern yourself with "this drug interacts with this receptor" so much as "mixing these 2 drugs is bad".

Is the recreational value reduced due to my medication? I am also interested in using stimulants as a study aid, is this problematic?
