mixing methadone with valium

I used to be on 150 mg of Methadone a day but cut way down to just 30mg/day and it was so tough! Now I'm mixing just 10mg of Valium with the current Methadone. It that mixture safe?

hey dude be really careful mixing methadone and valium its a deadly combo and if you mess up you dont get a second chance...good luck with your withdrawal its tuff but it is doable you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile but it only last a few days then you will be thew the worst of it hang in there ......

i've seen a hundred times that mixing those two is very dangerous. i'm no doctor, but i myself take methadone and once i took a valium, i've never felt sicker!! i do believe it is very dangerous. . .

there has been so many peole n my area overdosing and dying bc they r mixing methadone and benzos togeather. plus they r also mixing methadone and other drugs , like heroin , pain killers, etc,. they keep taking more of the pills bc they r not feeling the effect of the pills bc of the methadone blocking them and then they overdose b4 they know it. its very dangerous and i also hope ur not doing this.

It came up positive for benzos(Valium,Xanax,etc...). They do not tolerate u taking benzos and methadone,b/c obviously it is extremely dangerous. So they dropped me from 150mgs to 70mgs, which will for sure put me in withdrawal within the next 2days. I told the doctor it had been almost a month ago since I had taken this valium, and he might as well as called me a liar. We all know being drug addicts predisposes us to be liars also.

ve read so many stories about people mixing benzodiazepines (Valium-Klonopin-Xanax-Ativan) with methadone and simply not waking up. Keep in mind this is stuff I read on the internet, I would definitely try to seek a second opinion or talk to your doctor about the meds your on. At the very least, it might be unsafe.

I believe it s okay to take klonopin (thats like valium right?) with clonidine. Not really sure about that though. Get on some vitamins, try to drink lots of water or gatorade, check out that Thomas Recipe, it has really good stuff to try to help you feel better.

I got lucky(?), and have an appointment Monday morning with a sub/meth clinic -- they want me to lay off on Sunday, and show up in early w/d's for a 2-hr assessment, followed by dose. I got a very graphic tale of someone who lied about their last dose, and the immediate full-blown w/d's the misinformationist went into, so I got the point. Please, sub (including ex-) users, state your case, the good, the bad, and the ugly -- I thank you in advance.

Hi, I'm willing to lay strong odds that what you're seeing is not the effects of the Methadone but the effect of the admixture of 'done with a benzo (& Xanax is the strongest benzo). Xanax, Clonopin, Valium, etc. are actually contra-indicated with Methadone & a good clinic or Dr. will discourage their simultaneous use. It's dangerous & incredibly frustrating to be around (my ex did this, so I feel for you).

mixing methadone with klonopin is very dangerous, It makes the effects of the opiate in methadone much much stronger and causes enhaced CNS depression and can cause respiratory arrest causing death.

That is a lot of valium!!! I would be careful mixing 90mg of valium with anything. But mixing it with any kind of opiate could be dangerous!

Yes started the Valium when stopped methadone the dr said he gave me the oxycodone cause he thought the pain would have been too much with the MS. I wish he explained it better to me. The oxycodone is why I have been having these waves of depression. I can't handle this depression alone am going for help next week. Will try to taper down as much as I can on my own. I still have no methadone in my system but that dr should have made it clear about the other drug.

Please really consider letting your doctor in on this. Sometimes with alcohol detox, a benzo such as xanax or valium may be needed to prevent seizures. I'm not trying to scare you. I just want you to be very cautious and take care of yourself. We are here for you and want to see you get through this. Post this on your own thread and you will get all kinds of great support. I wish you nothing but the best on your road to recovery!

I recently was on MS Contin (long acting morphine) and my PCP allowed me to take Valium at HS with the MS Contin. Obviously Valium and Xanax are similar. She had me take it first in the day time a few times when my husband was home to see how it would affect me. I did not have a problem with the two medications. So I think it is a probability that you can take them together but keep in mind that they both depress the respiratory system.

Mixing methadone xanax and klonopin can be a fatal combination .Try to convince him to speak to his doctor about what he should do .

yes if mixing with ssri they both raise serotonin level ....

and just like kim said this can be a deadly combo both my phyc dr and my pain dr where consired when I first went on it that there could be problems with the 2....if I where you id warn my friend that mixing annthing with methadone is gambling with you life..and if your wrong you dont get a second chance...methadone is a very strong narcotic and almost annthing including alcohol effects it so tread lightly...

Can Venlafaxine 37.5 m ( which is a generic brand of Effexor ) be taken with 20 mg of methadone? Are these two drugs okay to be mixed? Anyone taking this?

I used to suppliment my hydro, oxy, and basically anything I could get my hands on with methadone....Then, I was addicted to methadone! I am going to tell you that there is no worse detox then from methadone! Seriously, you need to take a good look at what you are trying to accomplish.....If you want to quit....quit! Cold turkey is the best way.....there are a lot of things you can do to minimize and lessen the time of detox but PLEASE.....put the methadone down!

NO do NOT mix benzos(xanax) or (valium)with subs or methadone ever u CAN DIE!!!

Does the doc who prescribed the Methadone know you take Klonopin too? Methadone and benzos mixed together is typically not recommended, due to the risk of respiratory depression, and even respiratory arrest. That being said, in some cases, docs will be okay with the combination if the doses are small enough, and if the medications aren't taken all of the time, or are taken short term. This is something you definitely need to discuss with your doctor before mixing them again.

I read that methadone has 6 months of withdrawls and with the injuries my body has had, I don`t believe I can go through that. Because of my medical situation, I can`t find or get a job so I have no income. Nobody will help me or even give me ideas where to get help. So now I`m trying to decide if it would be best to take my own life and just get it over with or to keep BEGGING for help until my medication is completely gone.

Shrinks generally hate benzos. They have a point -- they're addictive, and after long-term use, can be tricky to wean from. Most handbooks recommend them for two weeks, maximum, including taper. You've done your own research, which is always wise. Punch "benzodiazepines conversion" into a search engine, and go with the U.K. site, where you'll find tapering info as well. I can tell you that Klonopin (a.k.a.
