am i safe to take either of the two? which would be safer? i havent had a drink in about an hour and have had food and water since, but i do have bad respiration problems. i have heard about CNS depression and am worried about breathing problems, yet i am considering one or the other.. would i be an idiot to take any valium or codeine? is it safe at all one hour later? which one is safer?
let me know please, thank you. :)

considering your situation I would say neither!

let's say swim were to be stupid and take one or the other, which one is a safer mix. as you can tell by my typing, i've sobered up quite a bit. If swim were to be dumb and do one anyway, which one is safer? :P
 
ive had about 3/4 of a 750 ml bottle of vodka slowly over the past 6 or 7 hours. i normally take like 5 or 6 t3's to get a good buzz. would two t3's at this point be dangerous?


edit: i've tooken 3 t3's, half my usual dosage. i think ill be fine, im a pretty resilient guy. hopefully i sleep well tonight, but not too well :)

Hey, welcome to BL! You slipped in a random "swim" into one of your posts, we don't use that here and given that you used "I" in the rest of your post it is pretty pointless (it's pointless anyway) ;)

Mixing downers is always potentially risky and we can't tell you for sure what will be safe - but as you have already taken it, it's a bit late anyway! 3 T3s is 90mgs codeine, right? So not a huge dose. That is a fair bit of vodka, I'd have recommended not taking any other CNS depressants, but halving your dose of codeine is a reasonable thing to do. Definitely don't take any more or add in a 3rd downer though, and be aware that alcohol (and other downers) can impair your judgement and memory, leading you to accidentally take more than you should and overdosing.

If you already have respiratory problems, to be honest I think you should avoid mixing any CNS depressants at all, especially opioids. It isn't worth the risk..

edit: In fact, without knowing how severe your respiratory problems are, it is impossible to say that what you have taken is safe - ideally get someone to stay with you or check up on you, just in case. Probably OTT but as I said, with an underlying condition it is very hard for us to say if you are safe or not...

hey, i really appreciate the response! it's cool to know i can ask questions with out being judged, this is an amazing site. truthfully, my respitory problems arent THAT bad but i was just asking because i have heard about cns depression, and i dont know exactly how much can cause what if that makes sense. haha. again, thank you for the useful information, sometimes google doesn't give you exactly what you're wondering :P
 
Haha indeed!

It's very difficult making judgement calls over safe combinations over the internet. You've not had a lot of codeine and halving your usual dose is sensible, but you have drunk a lot of vodka. Def don't take anything else, and if you are at all worried or you feel like your breathing is slowing, get some help ASAP. CNS depression is certainly a good thing to be aware of - mixing downers (alcohol, opioids, benzos, barbs etc) makes it a lot worse so always exercise caution and definitely don't take any more codeine/alcohol tonight or throw a benzo into the mix :)
 
In the light of safety, a small bit of codeine is much better for a drunk person than benzos, by far. NYE this past year I ran my lil Mini S off the road and did ~$1k worth of damage due to having no benzo tolerance and sniffing (also dumb, sublingual is best, I know) 1/2 of an ativan, which caused me to fall asleep while driving. I woke up in time to avoid a telephone pole, fire hydrant, and a stone wall (after driving off the OPPOSITE (!) side of the road.

Definitely NOT a good idea. If you're going to use this combo, get the other downers in your system first, THEN drink. Titrate the worst chem as you see fit. It's like smoking before vs after drinking. Before = drink slow and enjoy, After = spins and puke fest if taken too far. This has greater risks than just getting the spins, however.
 
^ Benzos and alcohol is an especially bad combination for losing your judgement completely and doing stupid/dangerous stuff for sure! But opioids and alcohol are worse for respiratory depression. Neither is very clever/safe really! Sorry to hear about what happened to you.. slow titration is definitely the way forwards. Unfortunately, the loss of judgement can come into play and ruin that...
 
Luckily I'm a car-guy at heart and know how to handle a car when sh*t hits the fan, otherwise the car would have been totaled (it was perfectly driveable, just cosmetic damage and a radiator support). Yes, alcohol is nasty when it comes to making decisions. I try to avoid it, but every so often my friends drag me out.

I totaled the car ~2 months later due to being drunk as well, but didn't run into any issues due to the drinking. Only show I've been to in a LONG time where I didn't trip or whatever and I crashed my car (but in the opposite case, I've never had an issue, even w/ sobriety checks/stops).

Everyone's chemistry is just different enough that we all have different limits. Sometimes finding them is a bit rough...
 
Well, unfortunately unsafe for me, these 3 being diazepam/alcohol/codeine is my favorite combo and about all I touch nowadays. I have noticed my breathing get very slow heaps of times in the past now either with the 3 together or basically anything with alcohol. So if you do already have respiration problems, I would strongly suggest to not take the risk! There ain't many substances at all that are safe with alcohol, but unfortunately too many of us take that risk. Take care.
