: I would like a substance abuse specialist to answer this question. Mixing a stimulant drug with a depressant medication can be dangerous in its effect on brain chemistry.

Main issue here is your drug abuse and you need to stop so that you do not use a sedative to “come down”. Hope you are able to discuss with your doctor openly and deal with this
