Well i've had access to large amounts of butalbital (fioricet / a barbiturate) and tramadol, which i enjoy both as well as small amounts of xanax. Is it necessarily too dangerous for me to combine medium to large doses of butalbital, and tramadol as well as a small amount of xanax? Im just curious because i've been doing that like everyday literally because its all i can get, and i dont necessarily want to do such but i cant stop, and i was just wondering how harmful is it,/ is there a risk of OD or is it okay since its not hardcore drugs.

I usually take everyday 5-8 fioricet with 5-8 tramadol. So at max 400mg tramadol with 400mg butalbital/2600 apap/320mg caffeine. as well as sometimes i add .5mg - 1mg xanax in there because i dont have a good xanax connect.

I'm not sure what your definition of a "hardcore drug" is, but in my book, ANY barbiturate is a hardcore drug. Although I do admit that butalbital is not quite as dangerous as some other barbiturates you could be using. But mixing it with a benzodiazepine increases the risk dramatically.
To answer your question(as best I can), YES... there is most definitely a risk of OD. And the longer you use it the larger that risk becomes because of its addiction potential, and because of increasing tolerance leading to higher doses.
But to be honest...it is not for us to say whether or not your use of these drugs together is "OK"...but since you say yourself that you "can't stop" taking these meds, I would go out on a limb and say that you are definitely taking a risk each time you dose.
Hopefully other posters will be able to elaborate on this more than I. Good Luck!
 
if you "can't stop" theres definately an addictin problem, which is probably at this stage more what you should worry about than OD'ing, we dont have butalbital here, so i know little of it, dosages etc. but from what i'v gatherd it's relatively weak, so at your dose shouldn't be fatal...

However OP Could you formulate a more explicit question please?
 
If you haven't OD'd yet then the doses you're taking seem to be safe for you. Don't go increasing them in an extreme matter and you shouldn't OD. You're already taking 3 separate CNS depressants so avoid adding any more as that will increase chance of overdosing.
 
Yes, there's a risk of overdose whenever you combine moderate to large doses of multiple depressants, especially those that potentiate each other.
 
I haven't had a tough life entirely but not the best. I believe I'm diagnosed as aspergers . depression. Anxiety and epilepsy. And its not an excuse for my actions but I think the aspergers is a good part of why I repetidely do stupid stuff. As a teen(I'm still barely of age now) I went to many docs for my legit anxiety and other issues and went through every med pretty much. Even benzos and like adderall/concerta for my anxiety / depression . anyways I just feel like I can never stop my self. And my anxiety is really bad and doctors don't want to help me with it anymore. Shit sorry for ranting on just trying to figure out if I'm okay and maybe how to get clean without urging everyday. I feel like the only way I could get clean would be replacement therapy legally. Be it benzos from doc for my anxiety or sub's if my addiction was deemed bad enough
