I've been using moderate amounts of opiates for about a year now (ranging from 20-40mg at a time) and also use ativan occasionally, and I'm not stupid...I've read the very real danger posed by mixing these two drugs. That being said, I had a very disturbing experience last night.
Something new has recently fell into my lap: Oral liquid oxycodone concentrate/20 mg per 1mL. This sounded too good to be true but it's the real deal. I've been taking 1-2 mL at a time, and last night i took about 1 and a 1/2 mL=35mg. I was also a little on edge so decided to take 1/4 of an ativan (.5 mg, which is less than half my normal dose). The resulting experience was really scary:
About 45 minutes after dosing, I began to feel really weird, my heart was accelerating then deccelerating and i felt tingling in my face and head. I didn't really feel 'high', just weird. I tried to chill myself out by watching a funny movie but the sensations became more intense and I believe I started having a mild panic attack. I called my boyfriend who was at a friend's house nearby and told him to come home right away, that something was wrong. He got home pretty quickly and tried to calm me down but by this point I felt like I might slip out of conciousness, breathing and heart rate were abnormal. All of a sudden, both of my hands began tingling VERY severely, like I've never felt before, and I was convinced I was about to have a seizure or some other serious convulsion and warned my boyfriend that he may need to call 911. He had his phone ready but I was still thinking of the legfal trouble we'd be in if I did end up having to go to the hospital, and tried harder to control my breathing and heart rate.
After about 20 minutes, the most serious symptoms faded away, my fingers and face still tingled a bit and i was freaked out, but OK.
I've NEVER experienced anything like this in my time using opiates, and i was curious if this may have been and adverse reaction to just the liquid solution? I have used it several times prior to this with no bad experience...I'm a healthy 25 year old with no history of heart/breathing/seizure problems. Or is this the negative result of mixing benzos with opiates?
Any response would be greatly appreciated! I'm definitely not planning on this combo ever again, this was way too scary to risk repeating. Thanks guys...
