    Some people don’t know not to mix specific sedatives with opioids. For example, they don’t know not to mix large amounts of alcohol or large amounts of antihistamines

    Antihistamines are opioids?!?

      I think it’s that the antihistamines are in the “specific sedatives” category, not that it’s saying they are opioids.

        But alcohol is the sedative here. So it’s combining a sedative with a sedative? I don’t see how that example works, then

        Edit: oh, it says or. I thought it was mixing alcohol and antihistamines.
