hey everybody i have question. i heard that benzos really potentiate opiates alot and was wondering how much they do. it usually takes around 40-45mg of oxy for me to get high/possible nod. i have 10mg of oxy left, if used a benzo to potentiate, would it be anywhere close to feeling 40mg?
 
Benzo's don't add to the euphoria of opiates imo...they chance bring on the nod. I don't know if taking a benzo with 10mg of oxy would allow you to catch a nod, but I don't see the harm in trying it as long as your benzo dose is low since your oxy dose is low as well.
 
It's dangerous to combine opiates/opioids with benzos, and that combo accounts for most of the opiate overdoses. Having said that, 10mg of oxy won't feel like 40mg if you take benzos on top of it.

Benzos will add to the 'nod' but don't add to the euphoria that opiates give, and in my opinion they actually dull the experience.
 
Yea, benzos limit the extent to which we can feel our emotions and feelings, and that includes euphoria. I am prescribed benzos and actually take less on days that I know I will be using opiates since it has been my experience that they limit the euphoric potential of the opiates. I save the benzos that I don't take when I'm going to take opiates for when I will be out of opiates and withdrawing, since they help a lot with that. If you are dependent on opiates or even just have trouble sleeping for a few days after stopping them then you can use the benzos for then.
 
I keep on repeating myself, but then again these "benzo to potentiate opiate" threads keep poppn up. With what the rest said above about dulling the euphoria ^^ there is actual scientific evidence to back this up.
 
save your benzos for a differnt day.

I was PISSED one day when I spent 60$ on roxis and ate 3 xanax bars on top of that. Just as the euphoria was peaking on the roxis I ate the xanax and the euphoria was depleted by 75%. Soon after came a very heavy and unsafe nod which quickly put me into a deep sleep. Waste of money and VERy dangerous.
 
Yea for your own good stay away from mixing the two, it has nearly killed myself and several other BLers and sadly many BLers are no longer around because they ODed on this combo. :(

On top of that, it does take away some of the good aspects of opiates. Not worth risking the possible OD risk imho.
 
This would belong well in the opioid potentiation mega thread.

I rarely use benzos anymore, but if you are going to use them to potentiate opiates/opioids, be very careful. It can be overwhelmingly intense. Many people have overdosed on the combination of the two.
