To answer your question: I have. I think they potentiate each other, and there may also be some metabolic interaction that I would have to google up. But I didn't like the mix very much. Dex and Rita are so completely different; I think they work best without the other, each drug doing its own thing.
Rita is crude, Dex is smooth: but there's much more to it. Currently, I find that Rita is like a wild horse that can be tamed and used for riding over thorns and thistles; while Dex is subtle like a dolphin that swims away from under your feet.
Current meds: clomipramine 150mg; fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg, bethanechol 25-50mg.
PRN: modafinil, oxazepam, dextro-amphetamine, Ritalin (methylphenidate), gabapentin (Neurontin) (recreational).
