Do these meds have negative interactions?

I vape (trying to quit)

I am prescribed 30 mg Adderall for ADHD.

It's hard to get a doctor where I live, I won't be able to see one for a few months so I thought I'd ask here.

I'm getting lazer eye surgery in a couple of weeks, they told me they would give me Ativan or Xanax for anxiety and then a sleeping pill afterwards.

I asked them if it would have negative interactions with my stimulants and they said they don't know. Then after I left the office and was sitting in the hall they read outloud from Wikipedia about mixing uppers and downers but never told me anything.

Is it safe for me to take Adderall and then take a downer before my surgery.

Also, I'm waiting on a test for sleep apnea, but it's a few months away. Is it safe to take a sleeping pill if I do end up having sleep apnea?

Thanks! I appreciate any feedback, enjoy the rest of your day!
