Bad Event. Don't want it to happen again this time. (methadone/ativan/dxm)

[Beefy]

So last week about 4am, i went out and bough dxm at cvs. i took about 450mg of dxm. I also had some ativan with me, i only popped 2mg. It was so early in the morning that i actually just ended up going to sleep. about 5hrs later i woke up kind of groggy, but sober nonetheless. so i go on about my day and go to my methadone clinic. So i get there and get medicated and i have a psychiatrist appointment so i wait a little bit. (my clinic is in a big hospital) so as the 45min session rolls on he begins to see that i'm very sedated and i'm starting to slur my words. then he wants me to go talk to my counselor. whatever it is that's going on, it just keeps getting stronger and stronger. Long story short, They had to put me in a wheel chair, take me to the ER, make me stay in psych ward for 3 days and go to my therapist the next day after being out and start outpatient rehab again. So my question is. I saw my psychiatrist today and she gave me 60 ativan pills, she doesn't know i'm on methadone. I really do suffer from anxiety and sometimes have panic attacks. So my question is, I've taken 10mg of ativan tonight. I only took about 100mg of dxm (i'm taking dxm to lower my opiate tolerence) will the 70mg tomorrow make me wig out again? Cause right now i'm fine. I'm actually a little noddy, but that's expected. What should i do in the morning before going in so i know i won't wig out again.

DXM being a partial opiate agonist itself can seriously increase the potency of
opiates such as methadone. They can be taken together and some often do this to save money and get a better hit,
but your dxm mg sounded a bit too much.
I believe it would be advisable to take something like your 100mg, but it will depend on your dose of methadone.
Basically start low with the dxm while mixing be careful, it can take a while for it to be broken down into its most active metabolite so dont dose up for at least 2 hours if you think you need more.
As for the benzos, I'd personally save them for another time.

that's way too much ativan unless you have a big tolerance. Try 0.5mg for anxiety.

yeah, i get 60 0.5 for anxiety. And i usually overdo it. But I'm on 70mg. So tomorrow i'm going to take 100mg only, about 30 mins before taking my done.
