Hi hun, well I do know that diazepam and alcohol certainly do not mix....go without it. Try a low-alcohol drink anyway...? x

Do not mix alcohol and benzo's, they both act on the same part of the brain. Doing so would be dangerous.

hey, personally i wud never mix meds with alcohol .. i'd jus stick with the meds as thy are whats helping you to be able to be a bit more relaxed when out , so id take that and run with it , just enjoy being out and about hun :D xx

I drank alcohol when I had taken 2mg Diazepam once, and felt very very drunk and out of it (even though I had only had one drink). I have never drunk when taking it since - and I believe the pack insert tells you not to.

Hi I have had drank alcohol while on cipralex 20mg and I was ok, but I wouldnt drink when I was taking Diazepam, so maybe the day you are going to drink don't have any Diazapam on that day. x
