Question 1

how many hours should i wait after drinking a few beers and taking an ambien (zolpidem)?

Accepted Answer

24: It is very dangerous to combine  any sedative and alcohol. Ambien (zolpidem) is particularly dangerous. It has a negative side effect of causing you to act out your dreams, and that side effects is more likely to happen if combined with alcohol. If you drink any alcohol, do not use Ambien (zolpidem) until the next alcohol-free night.

Question 2

how many hours should i wait to drink after taking a .5 lorazepam?

Accepted Answer

Lorazepam: Lorazepam could stay in your system for up to 2.5 days.  One way to find out if Lorazepam is in you system is to do a drug screen for benzodiazepine (but that is not practical).  Your question is challenging. The best way is to talk to your doctor becuase it is important to understand why you use lorazepam, and why you want to drink alcohol.

Question 7

how many hours should i wait from taking a tramadol pill 50mg before having a glass of wine?

Accepted Answer

: Ethanol and tramadol is not a recommended combination.  If you are taking tramadol for certain symptoms, adding alcohol is unlikely to address the symptoms.   They are additive in the effects on reaction time, thus, if driving is a consideration, ethanol is out.

Question 8

how many hours should i wait to consume alcohol after take 200 mg of benzonatate?

Accepted Answer

: No need to wait, as for mucinix -- which I think you also asked about. You can safely assume that almost any over-the-counter medication is safe to take with alcohol. So are antibiotics (a common misunderstanding). If in doubt, check with your doctor. And if all this reflects ongoing overuse of alcohol, address that problem with your physician as well. Good luck.
