No one explained to me why uppers and downers are bad, it's just one of those things you're constantly told by never explained. Some vague notion of "one going up in your blood, the other going down" but why does this matter?
I mentioned to my p-doc that in the 60's, phenobarbital and methamphetamine were combined as one pill. I wondered if I could just have a Klonopin added to my Adderall regimen, and he was like, "well, that's where you get into the same problem with combining barbs with meth" (okay, he didn't say "barbs" or "meth"- lol)
Oh please! Klonopin isn't remotely as dangerous as a barb, not to mention millions of housewives took these barb and meth combos in the 60's for quite some time. But really, why is it a problem again? Does the heart get confused or something?
He also said he didn't want me on Ambien or Sonata or other sleeping pills b/c it's addictive and it's also a downer countering my day's Adderall.
