I mean, it could work, I guess. There's always concern that little goof balling might lead to mood instability (been there, done that...it can wreak havoc on people), but if your doc is up for it and you keep the doses in check, maybe it'd be OK.Have you tried supplements? I know, you're like "you hippy!," but seriously: they're cheaper and safer than ritalin or amphetamines.
That said, I've known people on high dose adderall plus a steady dose of klonopin for years with no apparent problems. The AD might add to the risk of serotonin syndrome, drug induced (hypo)mania and agitation and psychosis, etc., but it could possibly work. I mean, its been done before, right?
Personally, I'd take Ritalin or focalin over an amphetamine in this situation. Just a personal pick based on limited experience. An XR formulation would be ideal, too, maybe with a mid-afternoon IR pick-me-up. Just a suggestion. Clearly, I have 0 training, so please do your own homework and talk to your doc at length.
Good luck!
