so i have to meet with some family on Wednesday for a sitdown. Its kinda like an intervention but not mainly about drugs. I havent seen these people in 2 years, so its a very high anxiety situation.I hate confrontation also. I dont have to meet them but if i do and pretend that i'm apologetic. I will get a better paying job. (i make min. wage and this is like 500 week)

I wasnt gonna do it, but i thought if i take some pills. I can get thru it faster and with alot less anxiety, Which is the main problem.

My tolerance now is low. I drink PPT 2x week. 40g a day.
I dont do pills much anymore but if i do
60mg of hydro will make me nod.

I was thinking 25mg hydrocodone and 1mg xanax.


Or should i focus more on just xanax. But if i do a tad too much
it will seem like ive been drinking.

Is there a better combo? or by itself?
 
Obviously, the token answer here would be to not take anything. But since I can't hardly leave the house without one psychoactive substance or another in my system, I'd be full of shit if I told you that.

I will say that you should take the least amount possible. As in maybe no Hydrocodone, and 1mg of Xanax. If you think that you would still feel anxious, perhaps add an additional 0.25mg or if you really think it necessary another 0.5mg of the Xanax.

If you feel you absolutely must take some of the Hydrocodone, I'd only take 5 or 10mg. If you insist on taking more Hydro, take less Xanax so as not to over-do-it.
 
IMO If your going to a intervention of any kind you should be as sober as possible. I would leave out the hydro. The xanax i completely agree with tho. I also hate the kind of situation your going to be in. I recommend taking enough to kill at least some anxiety. But not so much they will be able to tell
 
i was hoping to take some hydro. 25mg might be too much. perhaps 15mg.
hydro makes me warm and social and xanax gives me
that i don't give a fuck but no anxiety feeling.

so somewhere in between i want to be.

Also is there anyway to remove the glassy eye and raccoon look that comes from taking
opiates.
 
Believe I too would leave off the hydro.
Opiates can cause us to be more chatty, not to mention the pinning of the pupils.
But, I also say fine to the benzo.

Best

If you are around people that have seen you opiate stoned, you can bet your last dollar, you won't fool 'em this time.
They will be looking right at you, and they will know.
My family would!

^ This. Thats why everyone said leave out the hydro. You said this thing you have to go to isnt all about your drug use. But there goin to be talking about it and if someone there knows the right sighs. Or even your parents who most can tell when there kid is messed up. Your going to get called out on it. Would you rather get threw it scott free or have them catch you on hydros and make more problems for yourself?
 
you guys are definitely right about the opiates.

Do benzo's also show signs the
way opiates do.

It depends. Depends on what Benzo, how much of it you take, when you take it, etc.

Family members know family members. What I mean by that is that parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, etc, are highly perceptive when it comes to the behavior of one of their own. Just seriously take the least amount possible early enough beforehand to make sure it calms your anxiety adequately, and so that if it doesn't, you can add a very small additional dose. It seems you're already aware that taking more than a therapeutic dose of a Benzo can often make someone seem drunk. Even at therapeutic doses this can still occur, so just use caution.

I agree with leaving out the hydro. Benzos typically don't show the same signs opiates do, but as said above if you take too much it'll be clear you're on something. Maybe go for 1mg xanax (assuming you've got some experience with them) and bring an extra .25mg or so just incase you are totally freaking out beforehand.
 
Just a thought, but if you're using drugs to the point of having an intervention you should have enough tolerance that 25 mgs of hydro wouldn't show to much. Hell with no tolerance at all it shouldn't be obvious.
 
at this point im thinking of goin with:

1.5mg xanax ( i am tolerant but to a point)

5mg hydro (just so i can satisfy my mind that i took a opiate)

i'm not worried about pin pupils
just nothing that is too much
to overlook.(glassy eyes)

Also would a redbull balance things out?
Don't want to seem too slowed down?
 
I'd stay away from the redbull, anything like that is just going to more or less cancel out the benzos in my experience. Plus, 5mg hydro and 1.5mg xanax and your eyes shouldn't be glazed over if you are tolerant to both substances...I'm still gonna suggest 1mg xanax and have the other .5 with you just incase.
 
I think your original mix is just about right. i wouldnt take anymore than maybe 1mg of xanax, cuz overdoing the xanax really has the potential to fuck you up good and make you seem drunk. id go with .5-1mg xanax, and maybe 15-20mg of the hydro
 
So today was the dreadful day.
took 1 mg xanax and 10mg hydro 30min before.
kept a back up xanax near by.

Everything went smooth(as smooth as these things can go)
didn't look or feel high just calm and zero anxiety.
felt more like a causal conversion actually(prob. the xanax)

Thanks for the all the advice.
