Mixing Benzodiazepines and DXM

Mixing Benzodiazepines and DXM calls for caution — TripSit rates this combination “Caution.” Low risk never means safe.

Small doses of benzos can end a bad trip, but both substances potentiate the ataxia and sedation caused by the other and this can lead to unexpected loss of consciousness at high doses. While unconscious, vomit aspiration is a risk if not placed in the recovery position.

Benzodiazepines (also known as Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan) and DXM (also known as cough syrup, Robo).

What to do

• Even for lower-risk pairs, the safest choice is not to mix — and never to use alone.
• Start with much less than usual and go slow — you can always take more, never less.
• Never use alone. If you do, call 1-800-484-3731 (Never Use Alone) so someone can send help if you stop responding.
