Question : My doctor prescribed me lexotanil for my anxiety. He told me to take up to 3 *1.5 mg of lexotanil for a couple of days and then drop gradually to zero. My question is can I take a glass or two of red wine while on lexotanil.I haven't taken wine for days and I fell the need to take one.
Thank you for your time,
