I do both Vyvanse (am) / Dexi (afternoon) and valium as-needed (usually night, abt once a week). I find that the amphetamines can give me very tight muscles and I like (sometimes need) the muscle-relaxant component of the valium.
And I, too, have experienced the Judy Garland effect. I called it that at the time, too. That seemed more linked to the post-amphetamine drop and it reduced greatly when I switched from Dexi in the am to Vyvanse. Before then I carried around an alarm to remind me to take another Dexi dose before the 1st one wore off. It was that constant up-down-up-down-up-down in one day that really did me in.
But I have narcolepsy (and bipolar II) and need some sort of stimulant or I simply cannot function.
