I had a xanax last night and then one this morning. I then (about 8 hours later) had 3 beers over the course of the night. I'm worried if I sleep I won't wake up as will have od ed unintentionally. Would just like to know if I'm ok to sleep or should wait it out. I feel ok just sleepy
 
What dosage of Xanax? I feel as if you should be fine as you are coherent enough to post on these forums, I think most people who would OD would have unintentionally passed out by now
 
Thanks so much for replying, as u can see I'm panicking and worried about going sleep altho v sleepy! 0.5 and a half last night and then 0.5 around 12pm today. Then 3 beers over the course of this eve
 
Ha well yes I've survived worse but have just got myself worked up that its a bad idea to go to sleep :(
 
Thanks,you think it's better maybe just to stay up a few hours??
 
I think you'll be fine, but as you're still really tense about it, you'll probably not be able to sleep anyway.
You might as well just enjoy 2 more hours of being awake, instead of waiting in your bed until you feel comfortable.
Personally, I've used etizolam (3mg) and a couple of beers as a night cap quite some times and it never did me any harm other than possible memory loss.
 
I do not think you have anything to worry about. I'm pretty sure that Xanax comes in a stronger form of 1 mg, and that you only had 3 beers. I think just because you have waited a while and you feel okay-than you are good to go..I have had friends tell me that they have taken a lot more xanax mixed with alcohol and they are fine.
 
You'll be fine. I know they say 'no question is a stupid question' but yeah...

You'll definitely will not die.
 
When you fall asleep- you'll probably fall asleep for a while- xanax seems to drain you and actually has a decently sized half-life. I think you are more than 99.9% safe for now though
 
Thanks Rybee I know it sounds stupid and have definitely done worse in the past! Must be getting panicky in my old age! Scared myself with googling too much!
 
Thanks ppl, just making myself anxious (bad habit - hence the xanax!)
 
I'm in pharmacy school and its funny to see the amount of research that goes into a lot of the medications that people take just to show barely a clinical benefit. And then you go to Google- and a lot of people will post articles that will try to say things that are definitely true when they are not. And a lot of articles will use scare tactics as well. BTW- we both joined this site today, so I thought I'd carry a conversation with you Ivey (:
 
as long as you aren't struggling to breath and stay awake you should be fine. I've done over 5mg of xanax with plenty of hard liquor and I lived through it. I was probably not far from an od but it usually takes more than a xanax and a few beers to kill someone.
 
Max I was meaning to reply and I fell asleep!! And as you can see, lived to tell the tale. Thanks all for the advice! Was just in a panic hahha prob related to xanax withdrawal combined with alc! You'd never think I'd done a lot worse!
