*'''[[Depressants]]''' (''[[1,4-Butanediol]], [[2-methyl-2-butanol]], [[alcohol]], [[barbiturates]], [[GHB]]/[[GBL]], [[methaqualone]], [[opioids]]'') - This combination can result in dangerous or even fatal levels of [[respiratory depression]]. These substances potentiate the [[muscle relaxation]], [[sedation]] and [[amnesia]] caused by one another and can lead to unexpected loss of consciousness at high doses. There is also an increased risk of vomiting during unconsciousness and death from the resulting suffocation. If this occurs, users should attempt to fall asleep in the [~~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCDa-AhrjHo~~ recovery position] or have a friend move them into it.

*'''[[Stimulants]]''' - It is dangerous to combine benzodiazepines with [[stimulant]]s due to the risk of excessive intoxication. Stimulants decrease the [[sedation|sedative]] effect of benzodiazepines, which is the main factor most people consider when determining their level of intoxication. Once the stimulant wears off, the effects of benzodiazepines will be significantly increased, leading to intensified [[disinhibition]] as well as [[benzodiazepine#Subjective effects|other effects]]. If combined, one should strictly limit themselves to only dosing a certain amount of benzodiazepines per hour. This combination can also potentially result in severe dehydration if hydration is not monitored.

*'''[[Stimulants]]''' - It is dangerous to combine oxycodone, a [[depressant]], with [[stimulant]]s due to the risk of excessive intoxication. Stimulants decrease the [[sedation|sedative]] effect of oxycodone, which is the main factor most people consider when determining their level of intoxication. Once the stimulant wears off, the effects of oxycodone will be significantly increased, leading to intensified [[disinhibition]] as well as [[oxycodone#Subjective effects|other effects]].

Once the stimulant wears off, the effects of alcohol will be significantly increased, leading to intensified [[disinhibition]] as well as [[Alcohol#Subjective effects|other effects]]. If combined, one should strictly limit themselves to only drinking a certain amount of alcohol per hour. This combination can also potentially result in severe dehydration if hydration is not monitored. It also interacts with [[cocaine]] in vivo to produce [[Cocaine#Interactions|cocaethylene]], another psychoactive substance.<ref>Cocaethylene Metabolism and Interaction with Cocaine and Ethanol: Role of Carboxylesterases | http://dmd.aspetjournals.org/content/31/1/16</ref>

*'''[[MAOI]]'''s - This combination can result in dangerous reactions through the way in which tyramine, a chemical commonly found in alcoholic beverages, causes [[increased blood pressure]].
