Ok so about 2 hours ago, i took some cimetidine to potentiate .5mgs of xanax to say fuck it and go to sleep. It didn't really potentiate it much, not really noticing it so i was just offerd to go out to the bar and watch the Cotto fight. Now, with Cimetidine and suboxone already burdening my liver would it be safe at all to consume a couple beers or is that pushing it too far? Im healthy i have no liver problems in general or anything like hep c or anything of the such that would burden my liver other than the suboxone and cimetidine with the the .5 of xanax. I know about drinking with benzo's going bad but im not talking about drinking my brains out, im talking about maby 1-3 which would be fine with my usually rx'd valium or xanax so Anyhelp would be great, Thanks in advance.

Be safe,

I don't really think you have to worry too much about your liver, as spathe only drug that is rough on that organ that you mentioned consuming was alchohol.

However, it is not bright to combine benzodiazpine's, alchohol AND buprenorphine, especially along with a potentiator. That's mixing three different CNS depressants, and though you may be tolerant to each one at your planned dose individually, combining all of them creates a much riskier situation.
 
i wouldnt consume those beers. you are already on an opioid and a benzo, not to mention that you took cimitidine. even if you dont 'feel' any potentiation, trust me, you have higher levels of subs and xanax in your system than you would without tagamet. cimitidine potentiates all three: alcohol, subs, and xanax.

if you drink things will turn messy and you could possible OD and die. no joke...

stay safe and whatever you do, dont drive!!
 
yeah see that's exactly what i was affraid of. Fuck it i'll just stay here i'll catch the fight next saturday when they show it on HBO. I didn't really want to drink just i figured i'd look like a douchebag sitting at a bar watching a fight and not drinking. Thought i probably would be asked to leave as im pretty sure they don't just let people stand there and watch it for free especially if they are not buying anything. Thank yous. Definitely glad i asked. Normally i wouldn't even put myself into this possible situation but i've been trying to see this fight real bad, and had an offer to go see it. Of course after i say fuck it and take the cimetidine with my xan to try to sleep i get the offer? isnt that how it always works out haha? Yeah i've been on sub matenece for awhile im rx'ed valium and i didn't want to waste my valium by over taking it to try and sleep and had left over xan from a time a week or so back that when i got into a situation and ran out of my valium so i took it today. Thanks for the input and possibly saving my life,

Thanks again,

Sure would love to see Cotto win this fight though. If he wins it and i wasnt there to see it, i am going to be so mad at myself for the stupid decision to try and sleep. Not that yous care but it's like im going through a rough breakup and latley just want to be asleep because im miserible while awake, so as i said today said fuck it and took the little bit of xan i had left with the tagamet to try and make it a little stronger, i thought since im already on 12mgs of sub, 30mgs of valium and all that with the .5 xan and cimetidine would knock me out but no luck, just guess i gotta sit up and deal with the misery. Definitely sounds like addictive behavours comming back now doesnt it. Looks like monday i have to talk with my addiction therapist and work this one out before i end up doing drugs again. Thanks again guys and be safe,

Definitely glad i didnt end up drinking. I just noticed i guess it is having a stronger effect than i relised because im talkative and reasponding to almost every post on here that i have experience in. Definitely seems as if it's working stronger. Thanks fella's. Tonight could have been an ugly night.

Hey there, I just merged your three consecutive posts.

I'm glad you decided against adding another CNS depressant, it's already a bad idea to be mixing benzos with opiates, let alone going out to the bar.
