So as the title suggests i am sick as fuck with the flu (the man flu, worse than any flu possible). feels like a fucking opiate withdrawal. Anyway, on hand, i have etizolam, dxm, tylenol, codeine, cyclobenzaprine. Now from experience i know i can take the etizolam and codeine no problem, but DXM having ssri properties or somehow acting as a serotonin releaser concerns me with etizolam as it has some SE activity (well possibly, not really confirmed in science) so i don't want to end up with too much serotonin in my brain. As well, cyclobenzaprine, how dangerous is it to combine with etizolam/dxm and codeine?

my idea is that some combo of these meds will give me relief enough not to want to shoot myself and i have school on monday which i can't miss whether i infect the whole school population or not, so i need to be comfortable.

If there are any dangers between DXM and mixing high doses of etizolam (6-10mg) then i'd appreciate if anyone has any info on it. As well if there's any info on cyclobenzaprine and etizolam and better yet is it dangerous to mix 3 cns depressants, like cyclobenzaprine, etizolam and codeine i'd really like to hear it? My muscles are so cramped up and my face feels like i am coming down off a week long speed binge!

yeah sorry this is whiny man flu stuff (as my gf says) but fuck it hurts as bad as withdrawal.
 
yeah i'll leave out the cyclobenzaprine, i'm pretty medicated now, with just dxm/doxylamine/acteminophen, 7mg etizolam (total/day below regular dose) so will just take 120mg of codeine to get rid of the pain and RLS i've got going on.
 
Yeah if you are used to taking the codeine and etizolam, adding nyquil shouldn't be a problem. Good idea to leave out the cyclobenzaprine, that is a bit more unpredictable than the others in my opinion.
 
yeah seems to have worked out okay, feel better today. Usually when i get sick i do a 2nd plateau dxm trip lol but this time i just took it as recommended.

Do you know much about cyclobenzaprine? I have a bunch of it but i'm too cautious to take it with my etizolam (dependent) and especially mixed with opiates. However i have in the past and it was an experience i don't really remember. i guess they are either really great muscle relaxers which make you black out or dont' do anything at all really. I'm inclined to believe they don't do much since Drs hand them out easily.

anyway thanks for the replies from the both of you, don't want to accidentally kill myself with some of the combos i take.
 
I know that cyclobenzaprine potentiates the respiratory depression from other CNS depressants, and i have taken it a few times. Mixing them isn't safe. The only effect i can really feel from it is generalized drowsiness. I have personally mixed it with alprazolam and on a separate occasion with hydrocodone, but i wouldn't recommend mixing all three. Really if you are dependent on opiates and benzos though, adding a starting dose of cyclobenzaprine should be fine.
 
just dependent on benzos, thanks for the advice tho, i figured as much which is why i haven't bothered. Is it worth it to take in combo with just a benzo or etizolam? I still have a high tolerance to opiates anyway but i'm not going to mess around with it if it's at all dangerous.
 
Be careful man about two years ago i was sick with the flu and was in similar situation as you. The difference being i had klonopin and opana but i only did little amounts of each plus dxm and ended up overdosing. So just be really careful man, I'm honestly lucky to still be alive.
 
yeah the opana would be dangerous as shit; i really dont feel comfortable mixing opies with benzos anymore, too many close calls. Thanks for the help guys. Took some cyclobenzaprine 10mg yesterday, didnt do anything worthwhile so not worth the risk of upping the dose for me
