I took the first diazepam 10mg last night before bed. The next day I had 4 screwdrivers over a period of 3-4 hours and barely felt the affect of the alcohol. Than around 5 took another diazepam, after reading how bad it can be for you I'm afraid to go to sleep now. I just started diazepam last night and it made me sleepy for 20 mins or so I fell asleep,than I was up for the rest of the night it was not calming at all. It has been 7 hours since drinking and 5 hours since diazepam. I felt a little sleepy for about 30 mins and it wore off pretty quick. My doc said I would have such great sleep but it did the opposite but I'm still worried to go to sleep now. Someone told me if I waited between the two I would be fine but I'm freaking out after reading all kinds of stories online.
