I absolutely love it when I hear someone is doing well and provide the combo that got them there.
Your PDOC sounds amazing. He's willing to work with you on a MAOI and isn't afraid of concomitant stimulant therapy, notably choosing Desoxyn. Be careful though, you are on the old maximum dosage of Marplan and I wouldn't want a bad interaction with your Desoxyn-- further proof your PDOC is amazing. Mine would likely prescribe me methamphetamine too, but I don't want to push the issue. I already get 60mg. Adderalll and Xanax XR and this is after I revealed that I got addicted to Lyrica. Even after admitting my Lyrica addiction, I received a subtherapeutic 1.200mg. gabapentin script out of empathy since I told her I was done with the abuse and they're the best mood stabilizers I know of lol.
But I digress.
I would discontinue the Mirapex if you're having problems with it and perhaps increase your nortriptyline dose. Good thing about taking lithium means that you can check your nortriptyline levels at the same time you check out your lithium.
Instead of Mirapex, I would go with memantine in the form of Namenda XR 21mg. I think it is a much better option than Mirapex. It may improve cognition and depression. Also, it is coveted by many people taking amphetamines to keep tolerance at bay due to its NMDA properties.
^^^ Stahl puts it perfectly. (Also suggest his book)
I'm looking it myself. I like the idea of Mirapex too, totally see why you did.
Deplin make a noticeable difference? I've always wrote it off... If you never really noticed anything you could simply your regimen even further by removing it along with the Mirapex ER.
I'm thinking that nortriptyline may be my next med. Do you attribute your rapid improvement to it? If it ends up being the cause, may be able to cut out the Lamictal XR. Sounds like it must be the nortriptyline since that's what has changed lately?
But look into Nameda XR.... for me. :p
