Is Intake Of Alcohol While On Xanax A Cause For Concern?
I was recently prescribed a small dose of xanax (.25 milligrams) for anxiety. I havent been taking them for very long, and havent taken one for 2 days until today. This morning at 9 am, I took one. A little less than 12 hours later, I had one shot that was offered to me by a friend, forgetting I took the pill earlier. I have no intention of drinking anymore, but am I in any danger?
