Mixing Benzodiazepines and GHB / GBL

Mixing Benzodiazepines and GHB / GBL is dangerous and should be avoided — TripSit rates this combination “Dangerous.” Low risk never means safe.

The two substances potentiate each other strongly and unpredictably, very rapidly leading to unconsciousness. While unconscious, vomit aspiration is a risk if not placed in the recovery position.

Benzodiazepines (also known as Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan) and GHB / GBL (also known as G).

What to do

• Avoid this combination — the safest choice is not to mix them.
• Keep naloxone (Narcan) within reach. It reverses opioid overdose and is safe to give if you are unsure.
• 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.
