Thanks

When mixing muscle relaxers and pain killers you have to be pretty careful as both slow down and relax your breathing and heart functions. I'd recommend taking 2 percs and 1 soma, or 4 percs and 1.5 soma, or 6 percs and 1.5 soma. I wouldn't go much past 1.5 somas depsite how much you increase your percocet intake. I've had the best results with this method.

When taking Percocet, be sure not to take more then 10 pills in a 24-hour period. Percocet contains two medications...oxycodone, a narcotic pain reliever and acetominophen, a non-narcotic pain reliever. Taking more then 3,000mg of acetominophen within a 24-hour period can cause serious, quite possibly fatal liver damage.

If you're going to be taking both Percocet and Soma at the same time (or even trying to recreate this "Vegas Cocktail" you spoke of), be sure to plan on staying at home. Both medications taken together will disable your ability to drive (and maybe even stay awake) since both will cause substantial drowsiness. I'd be VERY careful take large quantities of both, especially together, since both cause respitory depression. Taking more of either one then is prescribed for you can cause heart failure and death.
