I am not asking for medical advice.

So I received a compound medication for dental nerve pain that reads: carba(5%)-amit (2%)- Benz (6%). I took one only dose (pea size applied at gums) at approx. 3:00 pm today. I felt very slightly drowsy & detached mentally around 4:30pm & this feeling subsided around within 1-2 hours.
However, without thinking, 1 took a 2 ounce shot of liquor at approx 7pm. I threw up the shot about ten minutes after I took it (not on purpose)- but could already feel the effects.

I am scared that the “Amit.” refers to amitriptyline & that mixing the two will damage my brain. I hope I am overthinking this & my anxiety is just taking over. Any insight is very greatly appreciated.

I am looking for insight about possible places to move. My husband has the opportunity to apply to several locations in New England for a new job. For family context, I work in behavioral health & we have two elementary-age children. We are a secular, left-leaning family and desire to flee the abysmal abortion laws (among many others) in Southern, IN. I’m originally from WA state & my husband’s from the southwest, and we struggle to fit in culturally where we are living now.

While I know New Hampshire has poor gun control and more libertarian values, I’m wondering if that makes it a no-go for our family. I am impressed with the live-and-let live attitude, beautiful outdoors, low crime, and socially liberal culture (socially liberal compared to parts of the Midwest & South- not necessarily the rest of New England).

Maine’s social progress, gun control, and outdoor beauty make it very attractive. However, we cannot afford Portland housing & would likely choose between Lewiston, Augusta, & Bangor- and I read about lack of medical and social services, as well as some poor public schools, in these areas.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated! TIA!
