> Is there any danger in combining Adderall or Dexedrine with something like Klonopin or Xanax?
No; they can counteract one another's side effects, if anything.
> The "upper" and "downer" combination sounds like it might have some large interactions.
Yes, but usually they are advantageous. (In fact, I can't think of a situation in which they would be a problem.)
In the past, when amphetamines were used as diet pills, there were combination pills that contained a stimulant and a barbiturate (the barb was supposed to relieve the anxiety often caused by the stimulant). They had names like "Dexamyl" (Dexedrine + Amytal) and "Desbutal" (Desoxyn + Nembutal).
