===Dangerous interactions===

Although many drugs are safe on their own, they can become dangerous and even life-threatening when combined with other substances. The list below contains some common potentially dangerous combinations, but may not include all of them. Certain combinations may be safe in low doses of each but still increase the potential risk of death.

*'''[[Depressants]]''' (''[[1,4-Butanediol]], [[2m2b]], [[alcohol]], [[barbiturates]], [[benzodiazepines]], [[GHB]]/[[GBL]], [[methaqualone]]'') - 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.

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

*'''[[Psychedelic]]s''' - Pethidine is well known to lower seizure threshold and psychedelics also cause occasional seizures.
