its not an uncommon med combo. Some people find this kind of thing works well for them. However, if you are supersensitive to stimulants, it seems like you might want to try lower doses or approach your ADHD from another angle.
Provigil helps some people w/ ADHD, often w/o the same side effects (or less intense side effects) than one would experience with Ritalin or the amphetamines. Straterra is another option, and tricyclic antidepressants are still another option..some people are also helped by Wellbutrin, but I imagine it would have pretty similar side effects to standard-dose stimulants.
Good luck.
