Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I will provide you the documented lethal levels of the drugs and the source in brackets:
Xanax (Alprazolam) - therapeutic range 0.025-0.102 mg/L; fatalities occur at 1.2-7.1 times therapeutic levels; upto 22-90 times blood levels have been recorded [J Anal Toxicol 1997]
Benadryl
Probable oral lethal dose 50-500mg/kg
Toxic levels 5000ng/ml [Oxford Journals 2012]
Hydrocodone
Lethal level 0.1mg/L
Oxycodone
Lehal level 0.6mg/L
Oxymorphine - not sure
but Oxycodone - lethal level 0.6mg/L
Lyrica or Pregabalin
Pregabalin reaches a peak plasma concentration (means range from 0.04 to
9.5 ug/mL) within 1.5 hours. Following single-dose (25-300 mg) and multiple-dose (75-900 mg/day) administration, maximum plasma concentrations increase linearly, with steady-state levels reached within 24 to 48 hours.
The Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Toxicology Laboratory has analyzed casework with postmortem blood levels ranging from 2.7 to 22 ug/mL.
Best Wishes.
