*'''[[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.

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