Mixing Amphetamines (Adderall) and Zolpidem (Ambien)
Low risk, decreased effect
Low risk of harm from the combination, but one substance is expected to blunt the other. Redosing to chase the missing effect is the usual way this turns dangerous.
If one feels weaker than usual, wait it out instead of taking more.
Both can dull each other's effects, so if one wears off before the other it's possible to overdose due to the lack of counteraction
General answer for Benzodiazepines: nothing specific to these two is documented.
