How do they mix? I heard benzos potentiate opiates but im not conpletely sure. I have 15Mgs total of Diaepaz and 15Mgs of 5 MgHydrocodone/Apap, Is this a good combo to mix? Thanks guys.
 
Do you have experience using opis by themselves? It can be a good combo, just be very careful and start with very low doses. I haven't used hydrocodone personally so can't really comment on dose ranges for it.
 
no. the way benzos and opiates and get mixed is an individual is hooked on one, so s/he is on it at all times of the day. they begin experimenting with the other, and in result end up inadvertently mixing. they find out this actually creates a more positive feeling than either of the two drugs on their own. so then they start taking their doses of each closer together

for people posting on bluelight, "hey, should i mix these two downers?" the answer is no.
 
^ good point. I mix them when I do opis, but that said, I only use opis once every couple months.
 
Some people enjoy the combination, but I certainly will not endorse or recommend it for the sake of harm reduction. Mixing the two is always more dangerous than taking just one.

IF YOU INSIST on doing it anyway, then take lower doses of both than you would normally recreationally take, and especially make sure you take a low dose of the benzo (because the benzo is the one more likely to cloud your judgment and result in potentially re-dosing, which could potentially be fatal).

I don't know your tolerance and additionally have no experience with hydrocodone, so I can't comment on the safety of that combo, but 5mg hydrocodone isn't a particularly large dose, so if you have any experience with both substances and aren't particularly sensitive you should be in the safe zone.

EDIT: Oops, misread it as one 5mg hydrocodone/APAP pill. 15mg is obviously a different story, but still not a huge dose. Like my esteemed co-bluelighter J. Wallace suggested, I would start with 10mg hydrocodone (unless you have such a tolerance that you would not feel 15mg on its own), and 5mg diazepam. Diazepam absorbs quite quickly so re-dosing, if you feel it is necessary, is quite practical. If in 30-ish minutes you feel alright and feel like you haven't hit your sweet spot, take another 5mg of the diazepam.

Since this is a harm reduction site, we must say this is not a smart thing to be doing. Be extra careful, and use a smaller dose of both drugs.

With that said, if you insist...going on the basis that you have zero tolerance to both, I'd say start out with 10mg Hydrocodone and 5mg Diazepam. Wait a half hour, and if you feel like adding the other 5mg do so. Personally, I wouldn't do more than 5mg of Diazepam because I feel as though Benzo's cancel out the Opiate high, which is why I recommend 10mg Hydro 5mg Diazepam, then redosing the other 5mg of Hydro 30 minutes in.

Remember, you can always take more, but if you take too much you have to ride it out till it all leaves you're system.

good answer.^ you will get used to always having benzos and opiates together, and thus opiates alone will not be fun without benzos.

i feel like i dedicated 25-75% of my time to finding and consuming these drugs. i grew very fond of the high, and i would do just about anything to get what i wanted. sold shit (jewelry, game systems, ect..), stole from people, lied, cheated, ect.. blah blah...

my point is, it is a slippery slope, it's easy to trip up. if you don't have your life in order, than i suggest leaving the pills to the people who actually need them for pain/anxiety. you might be fine for a while, but once your life goes to the shitter, you will want to run away and hide in your own drug-wonderland. u'll end up digging yourself a bigger hole....

hydro and laC are dead on.

Don't mix these. It's a very slippery slope. Plus, mixing two downers is, by nature, very dangerous. It sounds like you don't have any tolerance to either drug, so no, don't mix them.
 
yeah, not to mention what NT said about mixing two downers.

...we all know how heath ledger died 8(
 
Benzos and opiates can be very dangerous, but 15mg of diazepam and 15mg of hydrocodone should be okay, dose isn't that high.
 
I don't know your tolerance, but if you have very little or none I would recommend 15 mg hydrocodone. If you would like to add a little diazepam, try 5 mg to begin with, if you have no benzo tolerance. That wouldn't be too dangerous a mix because the doses are low. It will likely be better than hydrocodone alone, a bit more sedating, relaxing in the mind and body, if you have no tolerance you might nod. It is a good combo as far how it feels. Just don't take the benzo after the opiate because that could dampen the opiate high, always take the benzo a little bit before or at the same time as the opiate.
 
This is usually how the majority of users overdose
Like everyone else is saying, even if you're experienced with both I'd still recommend against it or at least don't do a very big dose of either.

Be careful
 
everyone has pretty much covered the dangers so before i close this i'll just say

Is this a good combo to mix?

subjective, opinion is subjective.

asking whether a drug is good to get high on isn't HR and we don't cover such threads in here. if you've got any other questions feel free to pm me and we can possibly reopen the thread.
