Death can occur when alcohol is combined with depressants such as opiates, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, gabapentinoids, thienodiazepines or other GABAergic substances.[1] Depressant overdoses are the most common cause of drug-related deaths.[1] It is strongly discouraged to take large amounts of these substances together. Sudden withdrawal from extended benzodiazepine usage can result in hypertension, seizures, and death.[2] When suspending use it is recommended to gradually taper doses[3] |
