Mixing Benzos Better Than Just Taking One?

I've got some xanax and valium. I'm wondering if mixing them would have a synergizing effect better than just taking one or the other, or is it better to have more of just one benzo in your system to get the strongest effects?

Planning on eating these soon, so if anyone has any opinion I would appreciate it!

I think so.

Try taking 0.25mg alprazolam and 2.5mg diazepam.

Then wait 3-5 days minimum. Then try 5mg of diazepam or 0.5mg alprazolam by itself, see which one you liked better. You can do both if you space each experience out so as to not let tolerance interfere.

This is a basic drug discussion like thread, I'm moving it there.

I think I've specifically combined these two recently with nice results.

well xanax is short acting and valium is long acting.. i would take the xanax and once your not "high" anymore take the valium. for a longer lasting experience.
 
Xanax is faster acting and Valium lasts a little longer. Yes they are synergistic so be careful if you choose to mix them. For me a benzo is a a benzo it's gonna make you either anxiety free or unconscious if you mess up.

First I would take cimetidine and/or WGFJ.

Wait 30-45 minutes.

Then I think taking the diazepam first, then the alprazolam once you're feeling it...great way to boost a regular diazepam experience.

I can understand other people would have their own preference about it.

Tonight I tried temazepam and flurazepam (unknown dosage for the latter, but it was ~ 3mg) = A+. I understand what that other BL user was saying now, these two work great together. Plus the flurazepam will stretch me the whole day so at the end of the night tonight I'll just take antihistamines to pass out, I'll be able to save my precious temazepam!

Flurazepam + Alprazolam = too much for me IMO, I took 5-6mg of the first with 0.25mg of the latter. Some of you all would like the deep, prolonged sleep it delivers though.

Diazepam + Lorazepam = another good combo, less sedation more euphoria and relaxation.
 
Well I've done my share of lorazepam, clonazepam, diazepam and alprazolam in the past, but haven't done any benzos for a couple months so I ended up taking double Captan.Heroin's suggested dose.

10 mg diazepam
.5 mg alprazolam

I've done both on their own so I'll let you know how mixing them compares.

They're generic brands from Paraguay labelled tranquilizantes.
The alprazolam is called Tresanil and the diazepam is called Aneurol.

I wonder if people notice differences between generics and brand name?
 
^
I don't, it's 99.9% the same chemical dosage as far as I'm aware, it's just a brand name - means nothing.

As for mixing benzos, I've used plenty over the years, been addicted etc. But I never really bothered with 'mixing' benzos as they all have very similar effects (yes, there are slight differences - but overall, benzos produce very similar effects). Some are just stronger in certain aspects of their effects and have longer or shorter half-lives.

I've mixed diazepam and oxazepam and found that enjoyable way back when I had a low tolerance, used it for stimulant comedowns. But I'm pretty sure just dosing higher with one benzo will produce a very similar result, not exact, but close to.

If I want to get more out of my benzos I mix them with other CNS depressants, like opiates or alcohol. Though I don't recommend that from a harm reduction point of view for obvious reasons (respiratory depression, chance of overdose, acting like a fool due to increased uninhibited behaviour). Stay safe, I just enjoy some valium these days.
 
^ Yeah I'm doing great. I had a couple drinks of Jack Daniel's on the rocks before taking the benzos. Definitely not advocating, harm reduction and all ;) but I know my limits. Just never mixed benzos before.

The diazepam and alprazolam feels good. I like valium more than xanax and this seems to be just as good as a similar valium dose so I think I'll use them with valium so I don't go through the valium as quickly. Just a nice treat tonight :)

I actually took them tonight cuz I'm getting excited for my first experience with kratom! Still waiting for it to come and I was getting impatient for a sedative buzz so I figured I'd tap into my stash. I usually just save benzos in case I want to sleep after a psychedelic.
 
lol my little foray into benzos spiralled into one of my spontaneously reserved nights of relatively responsible debauchery! Ended up doing a bit of crystal MDMA with some bumps of ketamine. I heard the benzos would counteract the MDMA, but I'm feeling good, just more sedated than usual. As we call it around here, I'm puddled the fuck out!

And on the HR side of things, combos are never safe unless you are experienced with each drug on their own, and with mixing always start low. I do these random excursions very rarely, maybe a couple times a year, but today felt right. I truly embody the essence of Taoism I'm beginning to realize lol, just go with the flow and do what you want. Never failed me al though it isn't the best advice for some :\
 
So all in all, I prefer diazepam to alprazolam and I'd have to say that I might have enjoyed the mix more than either one on their own. In any case it was comparable to diazepam, a bit better.
I recommend this combo! =)

valium + xanax = win!

aww that's a shame! crystal mdma on benzo's? benzo's block the MDMA from entering the SERT. I learned this the hard way when a friend and I got some purple ladies when I was about 16. He was rolling balls, insane eye wiggles etc. I didn't feel shit except the xanax. You probably felt mostly the xanax and the K instead of your roll. Whatever makes you happy though. If I were you I wouldn't waste benzo's with MDMA. but if you like the way you feel, go for it. But you would probably feel the same without the E since the benzo's basically block it.
 
I can definitely feel the MDMA. I have a bit of a benzo tolerance and I insufflated the MDMA crystals with the ketamine. I don't suggest mixing benzos with MDMA, or snorting MDMA for that matter, but I do things like this on very rare occasions that spontaneously sprout such as this morn. :)

For me, it seems the MDMA synergizes well with the ketamine and benzo sedative qualities. Al though, I am feeling overall very nice, relaxed, euphoric and slightly visual with the benzo, mdma, ketamine mix. This night was for pure hedonism and it has been fun! Usually I use psychedelics, viewing them as teachers, so this must've been the teacher's coffee break to go out and just have some fun!

I don't think the benzos or the MDMA was wasted. I took the xanax and valium about an hour and a half before snorting MDMA and ketamine. Maybe the benzos and MDMA cancels each other out? All I know is it is clear skys ahead. Feeling goooood.
 
I've taken MDMA while on xanax, it worked fine and I rolled really well. The empathy was flowing.
 
Little off the subject (but still on it I guess). What about mixing klonopin with temazepam (restoril, which is a sleeping pill but still a benzo)? Would that be a good combo, or just straight up stupid?

Try it out and let me know! My buddy coincidentally has clonazepam and temazepam kicking, so if it is a good mix I might have to try it out sometime.
 
I hate to be that guy, but combining benzos ime is exactly the same as combining beer and liquor. The effects are exactly the same no matter what, liquor will hit you faster (xanax) and beer will come on slower and last longer (clonazepam, vailium ect). Maybe not a perfect analogy but I honestly can't tell a bit of difference between benzos besides duration and speed of onset.

^ to condense the above, alcohol is alcohol just diffrent concentrations. benzos are benzos just different half lives or durations.

EDIT: after reading over my analogy, although not intentionally, this could be confused for something dangerous. No mixing benzos and alcohol! That was supposed to be a comparison only.

as a second thought though, lorazepam sucks. I think it's effects would be the same as all of the others, it's just weaker and needs a larger dose to be compared to diazepam and xanax. I'm sure there are people out there that love it though, everyone is different. I think I've seen a dose equivalency chart on here somewhere too, I'm going to try to find that.

IMO, taking diazepam in combination with alprazolam is actually healthier than taking alprazolam by itself.

The reason being, that alprazolam modulates your receptors very quickly and intensely, then withdraws that modulation quickly and violently due to its short half-life.

Diazepam has an extremely long half-life, about 200 hours, meaning that half of the drug is eliminated from your system in about 8 days. This returns your brain chemistry back to normal very gradually, allowing for a comfortable adjustment back to sobriety instead of the wacky anxiety rebound effect that comes when the alprazolam starts wearing off if you take it by itself.

Be really careful with benzos, please. They are extremely addictive, harmful, powerful drugs that have the potential to really maim you. They can also be very useful in the right situations, but the key is to always emphasize moderation in your use. If you use benzos sparingly, they will continue to be useful indefinitely-- however if you abuse them, they will not only lose their efficacy but they will also do you grievous harm.

Be careful and have fun. :)

.5mg of xanax equals 10mg of valium

.25 and 5mg of valium would be a good start

true

i can take any benzo and i don't feel anything other then no withdraw. i can replace 4mg of klonopin with 80mg valium and not notice any different feeling or take 2 mg xanax while on klonopin

i've been on benzos for two years. imo benzos are benzos like alcohol is alcohol. either 3 beers equals one shot of this. or 20mg valium equals 1mg klonopin. it's all the same to me. even when i had versed iv, they had to use 14mg when i had oral surgery and i felt nothing different other then i black out. but i recovered quick and had no issues with motor skills or anything
