My son's mother had a peculiar reaction to Valium, which was given to her 
when she was being prepped for surgery: instead of getting drowsy, she sat 
bolt upright and began laughing her head off at everything that was said to 
her.  They had to strap her down until it wore off.
I have no idea if that is related to AD(H)D or not.
