Mixing Valium & Xanax?

Hey

For the first time ever, I started taking Benzos about a month ago--for VERY bad anxiety. I was taking 1mg Ativan in Dec or so, then I was switched over to 1mg Xanax and had been taking that twice daily until 2 days ago. So about a month or a little less. At 1mg twice daily I was feeling like my normal self and even better than normal.

My dad is an addict and slowly picked off my Xanax, like he would take some of my pills, so I was left with taking 1mg to 0.5mgs the last two days as I only had a few left. With the lower dose 1mg or .5mg I began to feel my anxiety again. Within twelve hours of taking only one .5mg tab, I felt TERRIBLE the next morning and had a docs apt that morning . Then my doctor prescibed 2mg Valium 3x daily to relax my muscles, but it didn't help with my anxiety.

I took 4mg (over 8/10 hours) of Valium the day before yesterday, and 6mg (over 8/10 hours) yesterday and 2mg of Valium today around 3pm. I want to get back on the Xanax as I think im in withdrawal from it because I'm feeling worse than ever, can I take .5mg of Xanax with the Valium still in my system? Basically mixing .5mg Xanax with 2mg Valium (or 8mg if the 6mg is still in my body)?

In general, can one mix Valium and Xanax safely?

I don't drink or smoke and am not really familiar with drugs. I've never really taken any anti-anxiety or other medicine outside of cold medicine before this, and in the past only had say a piece of a Xanax or Valium.

 

It definitely won't hurt you to combine them, and they'll potentiate eachother a little bit.

 

Have you ever personally combined both, and at doses?

 

I was about to say that I hadn't combined them, and that's what I told you in the PM, but I have combined them once. I took 40mg of valium with 2mg of xanax. It felt like it would've felt if I had taken 3mg of xanax. Nothing crazy.

 

Ok cool. Btw is the girl in your avatar you? Lol.

 

hahaha No, I'm a dude. That's just some random pic I found on the internet.

 

O ok. Thanks.

Any other opinions (no offense dude, I just like multiple opinions)?

 

No problem man.

 

I am prescribed Xanax. I've mixed it with Klonopin before, never Valium though. But Klonopin is very similar to Xanax and Valium. I think since drugs are so similar, it should be perfectly safe to mix the two.

 

What were the doses of both? And did you take them both the same day?

 

Any other opinions?????

 

take doses of each that you'd take, they wouldn't potentiate eachother more than juust taking more of the one chem.

 

Wow your doctor is destroying your mind, be careful. these drugs are repressive and addicting, just look what has happened when your body didnt have some for just one day. If you think you feel terrible now, imagine if you didnt have some after months of daily use.

Since you say you are not familiar with drugs, im warning you, xanax and valium are destructive drugs, they will rape your mind.
