Methadone + Valium
UpdatedI take 70 mg of Methadone daily for the past week and that've been tapering down from 100 mg. i go to the clinic daily by 8 am. Today at 6pm I took 5mg of Valium. Now after reading other peoples messages I'm worried! Was this a dumb idea or what?? Ideas and opinions are wanted....

Hi DomDarko! I never had a problem taking methadone with a benzo. I was on 110 of methadone 4 almost 5 years, and also took Klonopin the whole time with it. I'm now on suboxone and still take the Klonopin. Sometimes, my doctor would even prescribe Valium 4 break through anxiety and panick attacks. Hope this puts your mind at ease. Just take it as prescribed.
@DomDarko,
Some people may not have any problem using the two together, but based on my research, there are minor to moderate drug interactions between Methadone and Valium.
From what I've read, using the two together may increase your chances of experiencing certain side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, impaired thinking, or difficulty concentrating.
However, I believe that if taken in the right doses, your doctor can help you minimize these risks.
Hope this helps!
