I took Dexedrine along with Benzos but the benzos only at night right before bed so I don't think that is your situation.
If the stimulants are necessary in order for you to function but the side effects are decreased mood and depressive symptoms why not instead of using a benzo to treat do the following:
1- try all different stimulants to determine if you can avoid the negative effects (including Desoxyn).
2-try alternative to Benzos to help your mood, i.e. an anti-depressant.
3- instead of using stimulants to stay away, try Xyrem. Most narcoleptics after switch to Xyrem cut WAY Down on stimulants. Maybe this can work for you?
