Hello, well let me lay this out as best I can and I'm sure you can help me out. Basically I got a big oxy/opiate tolerance take about 60-100mg daily for months. Tonight im going Out to see some friends and I'm wondering If I take a .5 mg Xanax later on while up and partying is that safe? I've taken about 80mg of oxy today and I dont have any Benzo tolerance. Like will I start choking and die of respertory depression? I plan on only taking one .5 mg and snoking weed. I also have valiums and kpins if any of those would be safer. I look forward to a reaponse, I'm starting to withdrawl a bit and I think benzo and weed smoking would really help. Thanks guys
 
Don't mix two extremely potent CNS depressants, never mix benzodiazepines with opioids.

So many people die doing this man it's not worth it.
You'd be surprised how little it takes to creep up on you. I know people that added a single Xanax to their normal mix and ended up falling out.

Also, alprazolam is potent and active in micrograms, so. 0.5mg would be too much to start off with anyways when you've got 80mg oxy in your bloodstream.

What kind of oxy are you using and how are you using it?

Well you've successfully scared me out of doing that tonight, just a side question. How long after doing oxy am I safe to do Benzos, I'm going to be quitting soon and I want to be safe of course. Thanks in advance! Oh and I'm doing oxy IRS from perdue 20mg football looking ones.

good. Seriously what's the fun in mixing a non euphoria downer with a euphoric one. Your not gonna really increase the euphoria, but rather just make yourself fall asleep and miss out on the high.

which form of oxy did you take, if it's the OP's I'd say like 8 hours, otherwise like 4 hours. Don't overdue it though, take it slow even in that time you still have only just elapsed the half life.

Yeah I take the instant release ones throughout the day, I think I'll just smoke a lot of weed tonight. I'm going to be withdrawling tommorow so Benzos might be more useful then thanks for all the info

I would wait 24 hours between dosing a benzodiazepine after taking oxycodone, given that every 4 hours (oxy half life) you're halving the oxy dose. So 80mg then after 4 hours its 40mg, then another 4 hours 20mg, then another 4 hours, 10mg, then another 4 hours, 5mg, then another 4 hours, 2.5mg, then another four hours, 1.25mg, etc.

Maybe start with a less potent benzodiazepine? You said you had diazepam also right?
 
It's less potent mg for mg. What do you have to work with? what dosage clonazepam and diazepams do you have?

Not benzodiazepine tolerant, then might I ask why you got them?
 
I got .5 And 1mg xanax, a bunch of 10mg valiums and a bunch of kpins 1mg. And I have them mostly because I'm a naturally anxious person and I really like the way they remove anxiety. I could go into more detail about
my past extremely expensive cocaine habit, but you probly get the idea. Recently my new love has been opiates, and I do love them. But I just recently found my stash of Benzos and I figure I'll use the Benzos with some weed to kick this oxy habit. Only on days for sleep and no more then a week straight, because from the sound of it a Benzo addiction is the last thing I need. This site is my little home away from home in terms of support and information.
 
I'm just saying, using oxycodone with benzos doesn't count as using them to kick oxy.

When are you going to actually stop taking the oxycodone?

I totally get what you mean about BL, we're here to give you all the support you need :)
 
I got a week off work coming up on the first of August and I plan to get clean and tough out the withdrawals. My habit isn't too big or long (about 4 months daily) 80-100mg daily. But it's really making me depressed, draining my money and just I can almost feel my health degrading. My coke days were less depressing then this lol :( . I got a lot of issues that I've been using drugs as a crutch to kind of cover up in a sense. I've got a amazing career and I don't want to lose it, that would destroy my life. So I plan to kick cold turkey because I think replacement therapy is not for me. Considering I always take the pills orally never IV anything in my life. I just want a quality of life back, to live again without this numbing fog of depression I call a life. Sorry about the overall depressing mood of my post here but it's how I really feel.. Oh and my birthday happens to be that week also, needless to say its going to be a fun week lol. Gotta maintain and I hope I'll be alright.

Hey, don't be too hard on yourself. I certainly understand the pain, guilt, remorse, etc...
I go through about a week or so of Oxycodone withdrawal every month or two. The last one was SUPER tough bc I had no benzos or anything to relieve the hellish symptoms. I'm OK now, got my rx.
It's baffling to me how easily I am able to push away the memories of the pain I've just escaped from...When that bottle is full, it always seems like it wasn't all that bad, although deep down I'm dreading that inevitable time when I run out and am counting down the days to refill time.
You'll find SO many supportive people here. My thoughts are with you.
 
I was in the same exact shoes as you were man, I had the world on my shoulders yet a drug problem to support. The catch 22 was that I ended up needing the drugs to support myself professionally. Everyone is different, and your effort at cold turkey is a noble one (which you either already know or will find out). For myself, it took a few cold turkey attempts turned failures that made me get into replacement therapy. Subs really helped me out...you just have to want it. I weaned myself down from a solid oxy habit to a semi-normal/semi-kind of withdrawal but not so bad state in 6 months.
 
Yeah, I'm really considering to go to the replacement therapy. I want to be able to work during the whole process, and I think that the replacement is a solid option. Its probly cheaper then buying bottles of pills at (a good price) each. Basically I've got about 4 appointments with local hospitals (on waiting lists) and I hope it all works out. Maybe it's just when I look back and think what I used to have before I went on a big "fuck-it" binge, thats what bothers me. I really want to jsust look to the future but it's hard sometimes. I'm going to do my best tho. And I'll be most definitely be using bluelight as my support base :)
