In reply to should you take both stimulants and benzos???, posted by Roslynn on July 13, 2019, at 14:30:06
the upper and downer combo was once known as a 'goof ball,' and its been effective for -some- people with -some- forms of depression, sometimes. reassuring, i know. :-(
on the plus side, ritalin is milder than amphetamines, and it used to be the go to drug for quick and easy mood lifts in depression. also on the plus side...
its far, far easier to stop a stimulant than a benzodiazepine. true story. oh, and fun fact: you know what can really help when you get down and grouchy, tapering off an Rx upper? answer: a benzodiazepine.
lol. psychiatry...is...not exactly scientific, clearly. :-)
