Alternate Anwer:
I agree that self-medicating Valium and Adderall is probably a bad idea. However, there are many good reasons that a doctor may prescribe both medications. Bear in mind that Valium (Diazepam) can be used to treat (among other things):
- Nausea as an anti-emetic
- Anti-anxietal and calmative
- Anti-seizure med.
- Anti-toxin and antagonist for many marine or arthrodpod neurotoxins.
- Insomnia (often a result of Adderall).
- Used at a treatment for chemical warfare agents including sarin.
Benzodiazapine class meds created a revolution in pharmacology, especiially due to the wide spectrum of possible uses, and significantly lowered M&M stats by replacing drugs like barbituates.
In this case, I wouldn't write this combination off as a bad idea without considering the entire picture.
