Something that scared me was reading about someone who died mixing prescription opioid pain killers and alcohol. The article mentioned he had taken just one extra oxycodone and the equivalent of 3 glasses of wine. He went right to bed and quit breathing. The hair on my neck stood up when I read that. I had taken more oxycodone mixed with more alcohol a number of times. I usually did it early enough to stay up and enjoy the buzz, watching a movie or arguing with people on the net, but there were a few times I went to bed soon after. I quit opioids back in Feb.
