So these are my first real experience with Benzo's, ive done my fair share of vicodin and norco over the years. But i popped 2mg of Ativan around 5 hours ago, finished out work and im about halfway through a tallcan of Natural Light (cheap and disgusting, im aware lol), sitting on my couch feeling pretty well.
My question is. Is this a potentially dangerous combination? I have no urge or intentions to take anymore of either the ativan or beer.
 
It is not dangerous, however, if you have a bunch of those pills laying around and more beer then when your inhibitions are shot you may begin to make bad decisions like abusing your stash or driving to the store for more beer all of which is extremely dangerous whilst impaired on benzos & booze. :D

You can drink the beer but just stay in your house and watch TV until you KO. Which is likely what already happened ;)

The combo itself is very common, though that dose of Ativan is higher than one would recommend to be mixing with alcohol. My rule of thumb is if you're gonna drink on benzos, never cross the equivalent of 0.5-1mg of Alprazolam. Which I believe is the dose you were on.
 
I had a very pleasant experience. Im used to drinking a 6 pack of Sierra Nevada Torpedos a night (7.4% ABV). So my alcohol tolerance is far greater than a teenage girls first time at her freshman party. I barely caught a head change off that tallcan of Nasty Light.
And last night i stopped off and got the cheapest/weakest beer I could. It was a perfect concoction. I have NEVER been one for mixing benzos and opiates with alcohol, in fact I never will mix opiates and alcohol again after my last scary experience.
I was pleased with this outcome of the Ativan and single tallcan of 4.2% Natural Light.
Woke up this morning and ate my last 3 Norco 10's, with my cup of tea and watching Spongebob with my 2 year old daughter. Good morning to a good night!
 
Well 2mg was nice with a beer. However id love to up the dose 1 more mg with no beer tonight this time.
Is 3mg of ativan too much?
 
Not too much. It's a decent dose to wobble you. I had mad intense effects when i first tried it. I had taken 3 2mg tabs and was seeing double and LOLing in class. Giggly af.
A very intoxicating benzo indeed. As long as you leave the alcohol out it won't be too much. But I must warn you. Even a sip will have you rocked.
 
no your good i have consumed more than 7mgs without a tolerance. please dont do that though sir. benzos are addictive.
 
Well luckily i only have 2 more 2mg pills which i plan on taking tomorrow. And mellowing out a bit before work.
 
as long as your "mellowed out" and not in a blackout or high and drive great. use them sons a bitches to their full potential i only got high off ativan a few times now it does nothing but xanax that is a whole nuther world my friend.
 
Ive been in an out of the doctors office and ER alot this past month. First visit was to the ER with a 195/100 Blood Pressure along with my right forearm pulsating and pumping to to rhthym of my heartbeat. They drew blood, my kidney/liver/electrolyte enzyme counts all looked good. Sent me on my way with is a follow up visit to a licensed practitioner. She just got done running a full blood panel and my lipid levels looked all fine. Between my ER visit and follow up appoitment, my heart was racing and thumping like crazy from the minute i woke up to the minute I went to bed.
I got these ativan from a buddy and have been self dosing since my ER visit. And amazingly, since then, I have yet to have one hard heart palpitation episode or high BP spike. Im starting to wonder if all these cardiovascular problems were due to a stress type pf anxiety?
 
i wouldnt doubt that there is a correlation have you talked to your doctor about panic attacks? or maybe ever GAD(generalized anxiety disorder)
 
i wouldnt recommend mixing the 2 in the name of this being a harm reduction site
but just see what doses and what amounts of alcohol you can tolerate
if anything just try it but believe me when i say hide your stash or give it someone to hold because its very easy to keep popping benzos like candy when intoxicated and before you know it you wont remember wtf happen
as others have posted a benzo black out is more of a dangerous situation in a sense you an easily drive or do some crazy shit while blacked out
be safe
