Serious question and I can’t seem to get a definitive answer on other subs so I’ll try here.
So I’ve been fluctuating from about .5 2 times a day mostly everyday for about 4 months some days I’ve taken 2mg’s but only a handful of times. Previous to that the last year I had been taking .25 but had more days in between taking them. I’m now at the point I’ve been taking them for a year and a half. I get to about 24 to 32 hours and then I’ll take another .5 if I feel like crap. I have plenty to taper with. Now my question is if I take 24 hours without taking them is it safe to drink alcohol? Some people say that it accumulates if you take it daily meaning I could overdose from drinking alcohol 24 hours after taking a Xanax is this true? Other people say that as soon as the true affects wear off which is about 4 to 6 hours that it’s fine after that, but I wouldn’t drink that early at least wait for 24 hours. I’m still not sure if it builds up in my bloodstream and could be fatal if I were to drink. I’m pretty sure I had done it in my 20s, but now I’m starting to be more conscious and quite frankly worried about things that I never used to worry about. I understand that drinking will make the withdrawal worse the next morning. I don’t know if this is considered mixing them or not. If anyone has any experience or the answer to this question I would greatly appreciate your feedback. Thank you very much and have a great day guys.
