      Not quite; you’d just be doubly intoxicated. Benzos or heroin and coke are classic combos. A dopamine antagonist like an antipsychotic would be the closest thing to a cocaine reversal agent. That’s also why coke or speed binges can lead to psychosis; too much dopamine.

        I was going more off of the fact that coke is a stimulant and benzos and opiates tend to chill people out and make them fall asleep. I have known people that get stimulated when they take opiates, which is always odd to me.
