So i knoww there are many threads on this and of course everyone recommends benzos as the best thing to ease a coke comedown.
What i really want to know though is can that be dangerous considering you are doing two completely opposite drugs that r efecting ur heart ?

Also what about doing the benzo before coke to take away all anxiety and then doing your blow. Is it ok to do blow while already high on say klonopin low dose (0.5-1mg).?

This would really help me out because cocaine always gives me a super fast heart rate and i know doing a benzo slows it down but could it also be dangerous when you do that?
 
in my opinion it is actually a lot safer to use a benzo with stimulants because they prevent seizures and keep bp and heart rate in check, but keep the dose low so you don't need to take more of the coke to counteract the benzo. they give benzos for stimulant ODs all the time..
 
It's a lot better than combining it with alcohol.

And most people combine coke with alcohol.

Coke and alcohol is basically like coke and benzos, except that coke and alcohol metabolize a stronger drug called cocaethylene. Coke and benzos don't have any weird interactions like that, so it's safer.
 
The combination is fine much like taking methylphenidate and a benzodiazepine, and as the second poster said it has its positives. The only negative you might find is that benzodiazepines dull the cocaine high.
 
The risky part is the benzo kind of lessens or blocks some of the cokes effects, so you may not realize how high you really are and do too much. Also benzos loosen up your judgement and inhibition somewhat like alcohol so that doesn't help either

In terms of toxicity or them interacting there's not really any danger other than the drugs individually
 
IMO a benzo would take away a lot of the qualities coke has to offer. I'd save them for the comedown.

EDIT: Basically what the above comment mentioned in a simpler and reckless form
 
I personally would want coke users to dose a benzo before,during, or after they do coke. Like others have said, it would dramatically help with keeping your heart from not beating out of your chest while relaxing you. It would also greatly lessen that phening feeling you get from stimulants.
 
down in south florida (and im sure in many other places as well) it is very common for college students to go out all night on a bunch of coke and come back and pop a bar (2mg) of xanax, with some people being able to take 4 or even 5 bars after a long night of coke use.
I've done it many times and am not proud of it. I agree with the idea that it could help prevent seizures, but at the same time it is definitely not a good thing to do.
If your going to do it try reducing your normal dosage by half or 3/4 just in case.
Take just enough to help you relax and go to sleep, but dont overdo it.
 
honestly i would not do coke without benzos.... or any stimulate
but thats just my preference and i have taken daily benzos for a long time
its definatly not the safest thing to do
 
Also, if you use a benzo after a coke session it puts you at risk in the sense that you are now feeling nice and chilled, and therefore more coke would sound like a good idea.
This applies to all stimulants.
When I was taking stimulants and then a benzo for the comedown, the craving for more stimulants at that stage was very strong. And I would actually go get more.
Don't fall into that trap.

This. In isolation the combo is probably safer than just cocaine, but benzos also reduce inhibitions, and will dampen the effects of the cocaine, causing you to use more of it to reach a certain subjective "high".

For me, benzos are better taken to ease the crash after the coke. Together with amphetamines I find they're better, owing to the fact that amphetamines work long, and I'm not expecting a 'high', just a smooth effect of increased focus and energy, the benzos help alleviate adverse effects and peripheral stimulation, without dampening the effects to a great deal.
 
Save it for the comedown, you'll for sure want it then. I had taking stims and not having any benzo to fall back on. 3-4 hours of speeding/euphoria then a down spiral of anxiety that increases more and more into the next day.

With xanax or any other good benzo your comedown is pleasant and you feel relaxed/chill and can actually sleep. It's actually enjoyable coming down if you have a benzo in you.

I took 20mg of Adderall, plugged, about 2 hours ago and not to long after dosed around 3mg or so of phenazepam to help me get to sleep. Gotta wake up at 7 in the morning unfortunately.

If they were taken at the same time though the xanax is just going to dull the cocaine high. I really don't think you're going to risk anything as long as dosages are reasonable but continually doing this all the time is not the best idea. When the cokes wearing off is your best time to take a benzo.
 
Remember benzos will make the coke feel less stimulating and taking more coke will seem like a good idea because your inhibitions will be limited. In addition, the opposite can also happen which is that the stimulation from the coke could lead you to believe you can handle mote benzos,and thus you take more benzos and black out...Coupled with the major increase of confidence coke gives, you might feel apt to fight someone ten times your size.

I'd advise trying not to start any confrontation because I know I had a situation on benzos and coke where I got into an altercation I didn't want to or would have never entered if I was sober. Some food for thought...

Benzo's are great for the comedown-if they don't knock you out, they at least eliminate anxiety. But why would you want to take the two at the same time? I know when I get cokedd up, I want to feel the cocaine; hell, I have friends who won't even smoke weed when on coke cuz they want just the coke feeling. But combining these two probably wouldn't give you any added benefits as opposed to mixing coke with Heroin...even though it's dangerous at least that mix adds to the high
