taking them at the same time or an hour apart is the same thing. if you told the doc that scripted the opiate about all medication you’re currently prescribed, i’d just take as prescribed. those cvs pharmacists have little hissy fits before there’s any real danger.
again i’m not a medical professional and i’m not giving medical advice, but i’ve been co prescribed a benzo and an opiate before. everyone with prescription pad knew about both, and the pharmacist, and no one said don’t and nothing bad happened.
you take a benzo everyday for any amount of time and that becomes baseline.
good on you op for sticking to to the doses prescribed. heads up just because a doc says that won’t cause dependence doesn’t magically mean it won’t (talking about the benzo). long as you understand that exchange, carry on.
reality is i’ve done fent cut dope drunk and on a mg or more of c-lam. you wake up in vomit. but unless you’re pediatric, geriatric, or something, it takes a lot to kill.
