New to Ativan. Could somebody recommend a dosage as harm reduction?

Here or there.
8mg for ten, not bad I'd say. Anyway, I took 3mg like fifteen minutes ago. Should I take more? I did inject 8mg of suboxone earlier today too. Let me know what you think.
 
If you have to come on here and ask how much to take, I definitely wouldn't take any more than the 3mg you already took, which is a lot for someone new to benzos, particularly if you don't have much of a tolerance to the 8mg of bupe you shot earlier...It's not very recreational as far as benzos go, but it will greatly increase the effects of opioids and the combo you did could in fact, be really dangerous and cause you to blackout and possibly even OD...

The only thing that can make bupe dangerous is mixing it with benzos, particularly if you're naïve to each...which you seem to be, no offense. You're probably starting to feel very floaty and tired as I type this, possibly catching deep nods and have a strong desire to just drift off to sleep. I'd actually be very careful and at least tell someone what you took....You could suffer respiratory depression and stop breathing if you fall asleep. The potentiation between those too drugs may be a lot more than you bargained for.
 
Please make sure you follow up with a post letting us know that you're okay. Last we heard you were recklessly popping benzos on top of buprenorphine with, unclear about your tolerance and experience with these drugs.

I'm guessing you passed out hard and are breathing very slowly right now. I have a lot of firsthand experience with benzos and opiates and so it scares me to think of someone just popping them without any real knowledge of what they're doing. It's one of the most dangerous combos to play around with in the drug world.
 
do you drink or use any other gaba drugs regularly? if so 2-3mg or so would probably be safe, if you don't have a tolerance to these drugs i would only do 1mg. there isn't much euphoria in benzos and 1mg should be all it takes for the full anxiolytic effect, which is really what these drugs provide. more is not better with benzos, you'll just get more stupid and tired the more you take and the chances of waking up in a jail cell increase the more you take. (i know a bunch of people who've gotten arrested on benzos, including myself.)
