Combinations - Valium (Diazepam) and Ephedrine?

[tre2005be]

SWIM got told that off tadpole that taking valium or any benzodiazpine and ephedrine at the same time has a great effect, does anyone know if this is true or not??

[Abrad]

This is a potentially dangerous combination. Mixing uppers and downers is, in general, a bad idea as it can cause irregular heart beat.

[tre2005be]

so is it a definite no go? because ephedrine isn't a very strong stimulant.

[Abrad]

Ephedrine is quite a strong stimulant. SWIM isn't saying this combination isn't enjoyable just that it could be dangerous. In the end it is up to SWIY whether or not to take the risk, although SWIM would probably stay away.

[tre2005be]

has SWIY ever tryed it? cos SWIM would love to hear some experience reports.

[Abrad]

No. He has tried ephedrine and found it to be reasonably enjoyable although it did seem to be harder on his cardiovascular system than other stimulants he has tried. He can imagine it being a pleasant combination but would never try it due to safety concerns.

is there any euphoria involved with ephedra?

[Abrad]

There can be. Although some people seem to not enjoy it SWIM and his friends found it quite euphoric. Just don't overdo it.

nice one for the info

Lately, swim has been taking ephedrine semi-daily and has combined it with benzos a couple of times to take the edge off or help with anxiety. The benzo she used it with was klonopin and not valium though. Swim noticed no ill effects with the combo, and the sensation was somewhat pleasurable...a bit of energy, but relaxed. But, swim was also only mixing relatively low amounts of ephedrine with low amounts of klonopin. She wasn't really doing this for the high though, but just to be more productive because she had been feeling lethargic lately. It could be a problem with higher doses of the substances and I'm sure that it most likely does put stress on the cardiovascular system (well, ephedrine alone will do this) but in low doses it seems to be alright, at least for swim.

[tre2005be]

did you feel any ill effects from the combination?

[bewilderment]

No, Swim reported no ill effects. It seemed to be a nice synergy with the doses that swim took (usually about 26mg of ephedrine with one milligram of clonazepam). Swim seems to be relatively healthy though as far as hearts go so if anyone suspects they have weak heart then it may be best avoided. But, just going from swim's word: the experience was pleasurable with no ill side effects at these dosages.

thank SWIY for the info SWIM's platipus will try this out in the next few weeks and report back.

[Kristy]

SWIM and her friends often used to take a few Valiums and a few Ephidrines at the same time, and really enjoyed the effects, some even compared it to the effects of ectasy....take it easy tho

[tre2005be]

thank SWIY for the info kristy, in what dosages did SWIY and her friends do this?

[Kristy]

2 Valium, 2 Ephidrine, SWIM isnt sure of the dosages as they just given to SWIM from time to time....SWIM will find out and get back to you!

gave me some good help and advice - tre2005be

[tre2005be]

nice one! very much appreciated

[Kristy]

Sorry for the the delay, had a hard time remembering, this was quite a few years back. anyway, SWIM thinks 2 x 25mg Ephedrine and 2 x 2mg Valium.

The Valium was brand name so it was good, some other Valium SWIM has had has been total rubbish.

Remember you can always work your way up with the dosages, you cant work down!!

Hope that helps x

[tre2005be]

very helpful SWIM thanks you profusly. 2mg? didn't think you could get 2mg swim has only ever seen 10mg blues.

[Jatelka]

Valium does indeed come in 2mgs, and 5mgs (at least in the UK)

[Nagognog2]

Yes. It comes in 2mg tablets (white), 5mg tablets (yellow), and 10mg (blue). This being in the US of A.
