should you take both stimulants and benzos???

Posted by Roslynn on July 13, 2019, at 14:30:06

Hi everyone,
My doc just added 10mg Ritalin to my cocktail. But I'm also taking a medium-high dose of ativan which I've been taking for years, mostly for sleep, with a small amount in the afternoon for anxiety.
Does this make sense to take both a stimulant and a benzo or do they cancel each other out? I take the Ritalin first thing in the AM, and almost all of the ativan at bedtime.
My doc just kind of shrugged her shoulders when I asked...
Thank you for any feedback!
