I don't think it's oxymoronic to take Klonopin and Ritalin or Adderall at once. I have an anxiety disorder to go with ADHD and it can be necessary to take them both, although it's hard to get either one prescribed due to FDA scrutiny of psychiatric prescriptions (politics makes bad medicine- consider how many have been disappointed by Strattera, but I think pdocs are obliged to try it first because it is not a controlled substance). I know that a lot of people become depressed on Klonopin, but as I look back, eliminating Strattera from my regimen revealed that it was probably the Strat that was responsible for the depression I suffered from recently. And tolerance to the sedating effects of Klonopin develops pretty quickly. In any case, my social anxiety is so extreme that I have no qualms about taking Klonopin, and it does not worsen my ADHD.
