used to be a pretty common practice. Dexamyl (dexedrine plus a barbiturate), Eskatrol (dexedrine plus a low dose antipsychotic), even Biphetamine-T (dexedrine plus Quaaludes...that one didn't stay on the market long), were all prescribed for weight loss, mood problems, anxiety and low mood, so on and so forth.
Just be careful. I used to take uppers and downers (60mgs Adderall; 4mgs Klonopin), and the combo eventually drove me mad. Call it the "Judy Garland" effect-- it just didn't work out over the long haul.
But I've seen people who are prescribed both uppers and downers. For some reason, docs use Valium a lot when someone is on an amphetamine--maybe b/c its more sedating? I don't know.
Anyway, good luck to you.
