>Another potential problem is that benzos are not going to give you the best quality of sleep, so you may end up needing more stimulant during the day do make up for the lack of sharpness from benzo quality sleep.
Well this applies to people taking benzos as a monotherapy or with ADs - more so, and even people taking ADs alone would be prone to this problem in theory as most cause disruptions of sleep architecture.
>Benzos and amphetamines are also slightly neurotoxic and a combination of the two might produce end up making things worse down the road.
Where is the evidence that benzos are neurotoxic? Why would this be worse than taking a benzo with an antidepressant - many of which may also be neurotoxic for all we know?
