Dear All
Thanks for this forum. I have endometriosis (pain!) and insomnia. I usually take 16mg doses twice daily of codeine, only when I am suffering from endometriosis or migraines (endo - 3 days/nights. Migraines varies but lately only three times a month, sometimes a lot more often) I take benzos every night and occasionally in the morning.
Tonight I ran out of Codeine and found some 8mg Hydromorphone capsules that a friend gave me and took one. I have never taken hydromorphone before. I occasionally take small doses of Codeine as above. I was about to take my usual benzos for sleep but thought I should google for safety and found many posts on here saying its dangerous.
TLDR Questions
My last opiate/benzo dose was this morning at approx 9.30am (16mg codeine, 5 mg valium), the previous dose was last night at 2am (16mg codeine 1mg Xanax, 10mg Valium). Its 4.30am now.
I've read the threads and now I'm a bit anxious and tired. I haven't taken any benzos. I haven't drunk any alcohol. I smoked a joint a few hours ago. I have previously mixed alcohol and benzos in cautious doses and not at the same time)
Any help appreciated
Thanks

TLDR Questions
- It's been almost 2 hours since I took the Hydropmorphone, can I take Any amount of benzo now so I can sleep?
(I normally take 1mg Xanax per night and 10-15mg of Valium every night for 2 years, have previously been addicted to zopiclone and other benzos for sleep) - If not, how long should I leave it before I take some benzos to sleep, and should I then take less than normal?
