No. Adderall is a derivative of amphetamine, a potent CNS (central nervous system) stimulant. Benzodiazepines are a class of "downer" drugs; they work by depressing the CNS.

However, it may be useful to know that most drug tests test for amphetamines in addition to benzodiazepines, so a person with Adderall in his/her system will test positive for amphetamines on a drug test.

What happens if you snort ibuprofin?

First of all if you snort aspirin and ibuprofen you will look like a complete fool.....

Second is aspirin/ibuprfen can BURN the delicate tissues of your sinus cavity and cause bleeding and since aspirin is also a mild blood thinning agent the bleeding may go uncontroled...Asprin/Ibuprofen when taken orally(the right way) is processed by the liver and distributed into the body,If you bypass the liver by snorting Asprin/Ibuprofen it allows the medication to enter directly into your blood stream (much as cocaine does) and this can lead to higher than normal levels of the medication being absorbed by directly by the body and causing kidney damage/failure...

Then you will have to spend the rest of your life going to a kidney center and getting hooked up to a dialisis machine twice a week.
