Alcohol and Ativan combo?

[Tegan_sky]

I currently take Ativan and I have taken it since 2019. I end up with a surplus of it most months, somehow. Not long ago, I ended up with such a surplus that I didn't even need to refill the prescription. I have been reading that a combination of enough alcohol combined with enough of a Benzo, can lead to coma and death. Who here knows about this? It sure seems like a peaceful exit. I also believe that my brother who died in 2000, who I know he had a death wish, something that killed him was beer combined with Xanax. He did have some kind of heart condition as well though.

I would take both the alcohol and Ativan in slowly, so that I would not vomit it all back up. Can anyone tell me what you know about the lethality of this combination, and would it be a peaceful exit?

People here will recommend the pill cocktail recipes from the handbook. Your combination is not advised.

Where do I find this handbook with the pill cocktail?

It's really not peaceful... it's harder than one would think to die from benzos + alcohol rather than just have a blackout. It is not like falling asleep. It is a slow death and chances are you will not just fall asleep, it will be painful (in the chest mainly). And if you were transported to the hospital for any reason, resuscitation efforts for that combo are very invasive. I can't remember the specifics.
