theoretically how much is there any safe ish dose of the two of them? I had a slight breakdown yesterday and ended up taking 60mg codeine then another 120mg an hour later then another 240mg about half an hour after that with what I had left of the temaze i think they were 10 mg ones atleast 7 of them and I slept ...for once without dreams and then woke up again took another 120 and 5 temaze then slept again and got the best sleep ive had in years woke up feeling rather high but not tired i cant remember the last time i didnt feel tired...it was recckless what i did but i slept so well its so tempting to do it again just to get sleep
 
If you're set on co-administering CNS depressants please do so in awareness of the fact the total risk of fatality from respiratory problems is far greater than from individual dosage. Please use one drug at a time, or at least reduce the dosages of each to compensate for the potentiation.
 
SproutOnSmack is absolutely correct. Concomitant administration of opiates/opioids with other CNS depressants such as benzodiazepines is extremely risky, especially if one does not have a strong tolerance to either substance. While codeine may seem like a relatively weak opiate, when combined with a sedative such as temazepam, the risk of dangerous (if not outright fatal) respiratory depression increases dramatically. In addition, there is also the risk that you can be asleep from the combination of benzos and opiates/opioids and aspirate on vomit, causing you to choke to death while asleep.

OP: doing what you did was quite reckless and I strongly advise that you do not do it strictly to get sleep. If you are having debilitating or otherwise severe sleep issues, your best bet is always to speak with a physician. A cocktail of opioids/opiates and benzos is not one to trifle with, whatsoever.
 
This is a terrible solution for insomnia. As mentioned, codeine and temazepam at those doses present a serious risk of respiratory depression. This is especially true since you are taking it and going to sleep.
 
I feeel ya.... In the same situation it is dangerous but fuck hard to sleep any other way.
 
Ive taken 5mgs of valium & 10mgs of Temazepam before sleeping but mixing either one with hydro or oxy before sleeping would scare me.
 
a few weeks ago it would have scared me but not now. I've reach my limit for being able to do without sleep.
