What dosage of benzodiazepines does it take to lose consciousness?

[Placo]

I have half a bottle of diazepam and I think 10mg of alprazolam but I've noticed that I'm particularly resistant to losing consciousness, I rather get numb and lose coordination but I've never lost consciousness.

Depends on body weight and tolerance. Trust me though, it is not worth it. I did it and ended up in ER and got sent to the pysch ward. You don't remember anything that happens after you blackout. I've had people tell me their experiences and how they ended up in jail because of it.

It wouldn't be my suicide method but a way to stun myself and endure the panic let's say.

Take a few mg of Alprazolam if you want it to work quickly, but it doesn't last as long. Take a few mg of Diazepam for a longer lasting effect, but it takes ~1 hour to kick in.

Honestly, I take 1-2 mg of Klonopin a day and that works for me. But also I have a prescription for them so bear that in mind as well. Withdrawals for any benzos is never fun.

Benzos rarely cause true unconsciousness outside of massive overdose or combining them with other medication. Even after a substantial overdose people remain rousable (if incoherent). They will make you sleepy and you'll easily drift off if you want to but they're not likely to knock you out like an anaesthetic would.

What if I combine it with alcohol? But I don't have very strong alcohol.

Combining benzos with alcohol will heighten the effects, but still will probably make you fall asleep before anything else
