Benzo + Amphetamine

[Calliope]

Does anyone know what the combined effect is of these two classes? I'm not really looking for guesses here, more experience or in depth understanding of these compounds. I know one is dopaminergic and the other is GABAergic so they don't directly cancel, but I wonder if their secondary effects might? Sans medication, my anxiety just sort of leaves me dissociated and on autopilot (you can't talk to people if youre function is based entirely on preplanned events, did you know that?) Independently, both of these compound classes improve my focus at let me be actually present mentally. Exams are sometimes enough to kick my anxiety into "youre going to sleep now" levels, so I'm wondering if a benzo will slow down my cognitive abilities enough to cancel the amphetamine and return me to baseline or if its specific enough activation to for the most part just reduce anxiety (esp if the benzo ((not xanax)) is selective at alpha-2,3 sites?

Amphetamine alone has lost some of its ability to keep me focused over time, especially if I'm in an anxiety inducing situation.
