Mixing Benzos, Barbs, Opioids and Homatropine

[Steady3]

All in small doses. Let's say 100mg butalbital, 10mg hydro, .5mg lorazepam, and 3mg homatropine. I has done this recently, as is prescribed all of this. I was perfectly functional, awake, at full mental capacity (which is to be expected, as these are very small doses, but I still find it interesting)

I guess what I'm asking is, you always hear the dangers of mixing drugs such as these, but at what level does it actually become dangerous? Will small amounts such as this ever have the risk to become dangerous? Or do you have to get into much higher doses of the stuff for the really deadly interactions to take place?

Thank you for your insight

I would emphasize the danger of barbiturates, and the surprisingly long half-life of butalbital of about 35 hours or so, if I recall correctly. The CNS depressant effects of butalbital will accumulate in your system with use of even a few times per week. So, if you want to embark on these dangerous combinations (and they are VERY risky), at least save it for no more than once weekly. And, the homatropine is rather purposeless for recreational effects, while very much increasing the risk of unmanageable CNS depression; I would just forget about the homatropine, really.

Otherwise, the combination is still very risky, indeed, and I would not recommend it. I don't know your individual tolerance to each drug, but I do know that with barbiturates, your tolerance to the effects may increase with repeated use, but the amount it will take to kill you won't waiver much at all, regardless of perceived barbiturate tolerance. Barbiturates are sneaky, and you don't want to fuck with them without really knowing what you are doing, even by themselves.

So, to really try and advise you against this combination, I advise against it very strongly.
