*'''[[DangerousInteraction::Depressants]]''' (''[[1,4-Butanediol]], [[2M2B]], [[alcohol]], [[benzodiazepines]], [[barbiturates]], [[GHB]]/[[GBL]], [[methaqualone]], [[opioids]]'') - This combination potentiates the [[muscle relaxation]], [[amnesia]], [[sedation]], and [[respiratory depression]] caused by one another. At higher doses, it can lead to a sudden, unexpected loss of consciousness along with a dangerous amount of depressed respiration. There is also an increased risk of suffocating on one's vomit while unconscious. If [[nausea]] or vomiting occurs before a loss of consciousness, users should attempt to fall asleep in the [[recovery position]] or have a friend move them into it. | |||
*'''[[UncertainInteraction::Stimulants]]''' - It can be dangerous to combine depressants with [[stimulants]] due to the risk of accidental excessive intoxication. Stimulants mask the [[sedation|sedative]] effect of depressants, which is the main factor most people use to gauge their level of intoxication. Once the stimulant effects wear off, the effects of the depressant will significantly increase, leading to intensified [[disinhibition]], [[motor control loss]], and dangerous [[amnesia|black-out states]]. This combination can also potentially result in severe dehydration if one's fluid intake is not closely monitored. If choosing to combine these substances, one should strictly limit themselves to a pre-set schedule of dosing only a certain amount per hour until a maximum threshold has been reached. | |||
*'''[[UncertainInteraction::Dissociatives]]''' - This combination can unpredictably potentiate the [[amnesia]], [[sedation]], [[motor control loss]] and [[delusions]] that can be caused by each other. It may also result in a sudden loss of consciousness accompanied by a dangerous degree of [[respiratory depression]]. If [[nausea]] or vomiting occurs before consciousness is lost, users should attempt to fall asleep in the [[recovery position]] or have a friend move them into it. | |||
