Good day.

Forgive my newness but I am assuming i have posted this in the correct place, but I know all too well assumptions are merely assumed. Er.

I come here for advice, having tried to do my own research and finding myself in circles, like what that Fish bloke out of that band sang about alcoholism, warm wet circles was it? read some Kerouac and it put me on the track...to light some Roman candles now.

Though, I am far from Rome. My question doth not seem to have answer, yet the light that is blue appears to have many experiences and advice without prejudice -not only do I feel someone may be able to help me with my question, but having had in-depth experiences myself, perhaps I may be able to answer the questions of others, and what could be more worthwhile than that? I love this place already, and I haven't even 'met' any one, yet. 'Tis true.

So, I pose the question first - I am prescribed IR Oxynorm 5mg; two to be taken 4x a day and have been for eight months. I am also, for reasons owed to an anxious disposition prescribed diazepam 5mg. I take the diazepam not daily, but as and when is needed.

For personal reasons which I don't need to go into right now, I am going to be taking alcohol. I really am aware that opioids and diazapam and alcohol is far fro clever - so I am aiming for harm reduction, and would like to discuss this in detail later, but right now I hope through all my bluff and nervousness that someone may be able to reassure me - and by reassure me I don't mean to give me the green light or tell me everything is ok, just some advice/experience/insight/measured opinion would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be drinking shortly, the whys and etc. I can get into later. I have tried to minimize risk by cutting back the meds, but was wondering how much danger I will be in. I'd like to sit here and type that I will take it easy on the booze, and believe me I will try, but I also know two or three pints later another three or four pints might not seem like a bad idea. I'm fairly certain I won't be plastered and start on the shots etc. but six or seven pints is a probable reality.

I split my 5mg diazapam in half and took three yesterday - so 7.5 mg yesterday (been taking between 2.5mg and 7.5mg for about three weeks), the last 2.5 mg about 32 hours ago. As for oxy, today in total I have taken 20mg, the last 10mg about 4.5 hours ago. I plan on taking absolutely no further medication today (I am aware of WD issues, that's, er, not an issue for this post) - so my question is how much danger am I in having taken 7.5mg diazepam yesterday and 20 mg oxy this morning with drinking tonight if I do end up having six or seven pints?

Any advice really would be gratefull appreciated. Thanks.
 
well hows your tolerance to oxy? i assume it's decent since you have a RX..
just take it easy on the alcohol, diazepam does have a long half life..and all 3 mixed as you know could cause trouble
 
i don't understand anything you said except is it koo to drink when your on oxy and valium and simply put no it's not wise in the slightest and you need to consider is a good high worth it being your last
 
If you havent taken anything except the 20mg of oxy this morning and won't be taking any further drugs, keep the drinking at a minimal but you should be fine. Your tolerance plays a big part here because your RX'd the drugs and your doctors also know you will probably have a drink here or there, Maybe don't do 6 or 7 pints though :)

Certainly not Stella. Keep it to a couple lite beers only.:D Benzos combined with alcohol sometimes give me a bad hangover
 
I have tried to post some insightful info and updates for people who may be in a situation that they can't help but mix alcohol with opioids - none of my posts appear? I give no links etc. I just want to discuss, but as soon as I post my 30 mins of typing disappears????? I just want to discuss with people in the same situation - why are these posts being blocked??? I have not linked to anything or such like????
 
for god sakes man,just have a drink
if u familiar with oxynorms effects and havent had a shitload more than usaul i think u mite find a drink makes it even better
i know i sure do
 
ive just had 100mg ms-contin and 2bottles of wine and an dissapointed.all i had till morning tho:\.nice small glow,better than nothing thats 4 sure! wish i had more wine and maybe another 100mg-i am only havin those crushed orally due to a shortage of acetic anhydride-if i had that it would be a differnt story!!!!
 
I am fairly certain how my body feels, but on my original post was concerned with the half-life of valium and alcohol. By the way, off topic, but I am soon to visit NZ on business, near Auckland - do you know the city, worth a visit?
 
or should i say good sire the ability with which ones body might indeed respond to the hithero mentioned substances,at the given timeframes indeed mentioned
 
. what im saying is a drink wont kill you.ok.
and worries about 20mg of oxy?
do u think a few beers will kill you on top of that??

I asked a concerned question about valium - you are obviously of the kind that wants to get high then smile downwards at others. But, not really, eh?

Who splits up a 5mg valium is someone who doesn't actually want to be on meds, comprende, twat?


God, with or without Him, where does one get a reasoned discussion?

Not in the SH, obviously.

I broke my neck and fractured my skull - oxy. I have panic disorder valium.

I am not trying to mix to get a high, but I am prone to alcohol consumption, hence my post.

You have no luck, nor stars -
