Benzos Oxazepam (serepax) and zolpidem (ambien)

[Losercup]

So a friend of mine took about 100 mg of Oxazepam tonight over the course of 8 hours, and she's definitely feeling the effects. She also has a prescription of 10mg Zolpidem and was wondering if its wise to mix 5-10mg of zolpidem after having so much of the benzo (she has a very low tolerance). She says she doesn't want the good high to go away, and has gotten a pretty good high from zolpidem once and would like to see how it goes.

Any advice or safety tips that I could pass onto her would be great! Thanks!

It's been 8 hours since her last dose of Oxazepam? Zolpidem will just knock her out
The benzo will pretty much shut out the hypnotic/trippiness of the zolpidem though, if that's what she's going for
so just a waste
100 Oxazepam isn't that big a deal
zolpidem 5 mg will do the job anyway
10 will just make her forget stuff and possibly a tummy ache

Is Oxazepam a benzo worth trying? I currently can get MOST (not all) the benz, ppl here seem to use.

It's probably one of the weakest
50mg dose compares to about 2mg xanax in potency if not less.

check the benzo equivalency tables to determine the oxazepam vs other benzo potencies.

oxazepam is a good benzo though - i experienced more memory loss than other benzos but thats personal experience.

IME some benzos seem to counteract Z-drugs.

When I was "naive", 50mg of zolpidem would have me blacked out for 4-6 hours.

Since becoming dependent on benzos, I've taken up to 100mg's of zolpidem and barely noticed the effects.

Thats with dependency, though. As a one-off, the effects may compound.

Your comment about memory loss on oxazepam tends to confirm what I observed in my alcoholic parents. Our family doctor used to prescribe them big freaking Mason jars of Serax (I used to pick up their pharmaceuticals, though I didn't dare sample them); they'd wash 'em down with vodka. (The liquor store delivered.)

No wonder there was so much that my parental units insisted "never happened"!
