So I drank about 9 drinks today between 1pm and 4pm. I drink a lot, people who don't know me wouldn't even know I had drank. At about 6 I took a 2.5 mg Valium not knowing the dangers. Will I be safe? I'm having a huge pain attack and don't know if I'm gonna od and die or just freaking out. Trust me, no more and never again, I just don't want to die.

Stay calm. Yes it is bad to combine benzos and alcohol, but it is not an automatic death sentence. You took a pretty low dose of Valium and you probably metabolized a few of those drinks.
Do you have someone with you? If so have them watch for extreme drowsiness, slurring speech, confusion. Get help if that occurs. If you feel really worried now, you can go get help. But I do not think you are in grave danger.

Yes I have someone with me and she knows about what I took. I'm tired from it obviously, but I'm so nervous it's like I'm sleepy but no more than I would be after a few drinks. I don't think I'm slurring or confused. Thank you so much for replying though. I'm still to scared to sleep a wink tonight, but it did help.

Understandable about not wanting to sleep. How long has it been since you had your last drink? I dont know where you live so it may be useful to know how much time has passed since drinking ended.

Assuming you arent an alcoholic or have liver disease, you are most likely in the clear. Stay with whoever you are with, keep watching out for any signs of distress and by all means get help if you still feel you need it.
I'm practically a functioning alcoholic but I stopped last time my ssri kicked in. (Stopped taking it, just started back). I'm 3 weeks into my ssri now and plan on stopping drinking soon. I don't think I've drank enough to have liver disease. I feel much better now.

reformed alcoholic, opiate addict, benzo user here...You should be alright at that dose. Fear is going to be your biggest problem. I wouldn't make it a habit though.
Current alcoholic, i take 1 mg Clonazepam everyday and drink every night. In the past 5 years I have done this, sometimes adding in Xanax and/or 10-30mg Valium and have never had a problem. You will be fine. Not advocating this at all, I recommend you you steer clear of the benzos if you don't need them.
