Re: Benzos with Concerta/Ritalin/Stimulants a no-no??

I'd say its more complicated than "they cancel each other out". An antipsychotic would cancel out a stimulant; a benzo might make it less stimulating, but the combo could work..the big problem is that upper and downer combos can be tricky, and they seem to make abuse more likely (think "Valley of The Dolls") .

But...I've known people who take benzos plus RX'd amphetamines at stable doses for both meds, long term; I doubt most shrinks would consider that sort of med combo ideal, but it can be done.
