Stimulants Benzo's before, during or after Adderall binge?

Benzo: Clonazepam 2mg
Stimulant: Dexamphetamine IR (not Adderall, similar enough)

I've got about a week left of experimenting with them before going back to work and it all comes to an end. The combo seems very delicate to get right,

After: The obvious one is to take just enough benzo to sleep after the dex binge when it's time to sleep, no brainer. I avoid this unless absolutely necessary to limit benzo use.

During: 4-8 hours in usually when the side effects worsen, taking a klonopin (0.5-1.5mg) seems to completely eliminate the positives of the stimulant and ruin it for the rest of the sesh. Urge to redose dex skyrockets but it's unobtainable so I know better than to redose. Feels really dull and flat. Kills residual motivation and energy. I hate it, very sobering.

Before: Yet to try, but next time I plan on dosing low kpin 0.5mg (maybe 1mg) early in the morning, a big hearty breakfast and then start taking the stims 3-4 hours later. I have high hopes for this one.


I feel like this combo could have the potential to either completely synergise or completely ruin the best of eithers part, but i'm yet to really pull off the former. Any advice on how to time/dose to achieve the best of both worlds would be hugely appreciated. I suspect the secret lies in keeping the benzo dose as minimal as possible to not cause blunting. Very tricky with clonaz's long half life, yesterdays dose could still be lingering the next day.

Thanks in advance for any advice and please don't be concerned, my little drug holiday is forcibly coming to an end after this week anyway.

I'd prefer to just feel the dex and take benzo if needed at end, but if the dex gives you anxiety I'd be splitting that 2mg and taking half with the dex
Ideally me too, especially the first few attempts I even got somewhat of a fleeting mild body buzz from it when I was able to fully relax on it. However with repeated use the anxiety/short breathing/tension has gotten worse and worse.


UPDATE: This morning I tried 0.5mg clonaz on waking, then half hour later had 20mg dex with a meal followed shortly after by 10mg dex sublingual. Physical symptoms (130bpm, short shallow breathing, tension) all present but motivation/mood lift is completely absent. No synergy for me it seems.
