HI

Whenever I've been prescribed a stimulant, the doctors I've seen usually prescibe a benzo along with it for the edginess, etc. Or if they don't - and I ask, they have been willing to add it. They work very well for when a stimulant wears off and irritability, etc set in.

As for the half-life of the benzos, I think it goes like this (1 being shortest acting and 4 being longest acting):

1) Xanax
2) Ativan
3) Valium
4) Klonopin

Docs usually like to prescribe Klonopin because it lasts longer and is "smooth" compared to Xanax where the half-life is short and can cause ups and downs.

Hope this helps....

Jerry
