I was prescribed 0.5 mg taken once a day by my doctor for 5 years. But I have been informed that this drug is only meant to be given on a short term measure. Anyhow whilst I was on this drug when I went to sleep it was like I was in sedation no one could wake me and if I ever drank 2 beers it was like I had drank a bottle of whisky j would wobble then I would go cold out can you please explain to me why? Thankyou so much Rosalyn.
Sedatives are central nervous system depressors, mixed with alcohol marked depression occurs followed by dizziness, Chat Doctor.  Cease the consumption of sedative+alcohol and report to your doctor!
