Mixing Benzodiazepines (Xanax) and Methamphetamine (meth)
Low risk, decreased effect
Commonly used to come down or sleep, and reasonably effective at it. Two cautions: benzodiazepines cause blackouts, so it becomes easy to lose track of further stimulant doses, and taking them before the meth has substantially cleared usually means taking more benzodiazepine than intended to get any sedation at all.
Can you mix Benzodiazepines (Xanax) and Methamphetamine (meth)?
MixSafe rates mixing Benzodiazepines and Methamphetamine as "Low risk, decreased effect" — low risk of harm from the combination, but one substance is expected to blunt the other. Redosing to chase the missing effect is the usual way this turns dangerous. Source: MixSafe research. Educational information, not medical advice.
