Most Definitely: Appropriate use of stimulants help with wakefulness only as they are complemented by restful sleep. Stacking stimulants does not exempt your tired brain cells from their need for sleep. Attempting to "supercharge" them will only irritate them and kindle the body's defense posturing. This narrows your coping to fight/flight (anger/fear). Over time, this may increase your need for mood-stabilizers.
