Can you take 2 mg lorazepam with Oxycontin?

Yes, just be smart with your dosages because lorazepam is a strong benzo and benzos are potentiators of opiates, so you won't need as much oxy as normal unless you wanna be nodding balls. If lorazepam is a normal medicine for you that you take on a daily basis, then take as much oxy as normal. If you're not tolerant to benzos, careful on how high you dose.

Can you overdose on cyclobenzaprine?

Yes, though fatal overdoses on most Benzodiazepines are rare. In general though, the hypnotic(anti insomnia) benzodiazepines are much more toxic compared to the anxiolytic(anti anxiety) benzo's. Some of the more potent hypnotic benzo's have been fatal on their own in moderate doses. Long acting low potency anxiolytic benzo's such as Diazepam(Valium), Chlordiazepoxide(Librium), Prazepam(Reapam) and Clorazepate(Tranxene) are the least toxic. The moderate acting more potent anxiolytic benzos such as Bromazepam(Lexotan), Oxazepam(Seresta), Lorazepam(Temesta), Alprazolam(Xanax) and Clonazepam(Rivotril) are more toxic, but still not as toxic as any of the hypnotic benzo's. The long acting, low potency hypnotic benzo Flurazepam(Dalmadorm) is the least toxic of the hypnotic benzo's, and the moderately acting moderate to high potency hypnotic benzo's such as Nitrazepam(Mogadon), Temazepam(Normison), Flunitrazepam(Rohypnol) and Lormetazepam (Loramet/Noctamid) are pretty much the most toxic of all Benzo's, and are the most often the cause of fatal overdoses, even when taken on their own. Probably the most toxic of them all are the short acting Benzo's, such as Brotizolam(Lendormin), Triazolam(Halcion) and Midazolam(Dormicum).

Can Valium and ambien cr mask xanax on drug tests?

I would say no. Ambien is a Non Benzodiazepine, which means it offers similar effects of a Benzo, but is not classified as a Benzo it will not register as a Benzo on a drug test. Valium is a Benzo so it would come up positive for Benzo's regardless of it being Valium or Xanax.
