"Paradoxical stimulation" is common with benzodiazepines. It is a result of what is called disinhibition, viz. gaba-a stimulation results in an indirect increase in some neurotransmission elsewhere in the ol' dog's breakfast (Kurt Vonnegut's deliciously sarcastic term for the brain). I wish I knew more about this offhand, but I don't, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now. ;)
