I take diazepam on rare occasions due to anxiety,as prescribed by my GP.
I had 10mgs last night before bed, I have a function on tonight and would like to be able to have a few drinks, by then it will have been around 22 hours since taking the diazepam, will it be safe to drink by then? It has been a month since I had diazepam prior to this. I have heard that it can be dangerous if you mix them, when will the Diazepam I took last night wear off?
When is it safe to have Alcohol after taking Diazepam?
