There is a synergistic potential for addiction between benzodiazapines and stimulants.
Kinda like speedballing, you're going to get synergistic effects on dopamine in the neucleus accumbens, you may end up depleating dopamine stores faster than each agent alone.
It will, of course, work very well, but the question is for how long?
Benzos and amphetamines are also slightly neurotoxic and a combination of the two might produce end up making things worse down the road.
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.
