Amphetamines help(ed) a lot of people, but lots of people needed something to take the edge off. So, throw in some amobarbital (dexamyl), nembutal (Desubtol, I think), and you're good to go.
Those pills worked well for a lot of people. The "modern" drugs that everyone has to take have all kinds of problems associated with them--weight gain, dysphoria, anhedonia, "poop out," serotonin syndrome, etc.--that you just didn't find in the good ole goof balls.
Now and then you'll meet someone prescribed a benzo and an upper. I knew two such people--one dude on 90mgs adderall and 2 Klonopin, and one on 40 adderall and 5 valium tabs as-needed. Not much has changed, except psychiatry has become even less fun than it was back in the day. Even celebrities take antidepressants now--its crazy.
