Specializes in Internal Medicine

Not recommended: Unsafe combination. Use either one, but not both. Depending upon the type of sleeping pill you are taking, alcohol may contribute to serious complications.

I had 2-3 glasses of wine around 6-8 pm, then took 3/4 of a 1 mg pill of lorazepam just before 1 am. Now I'm worried that was a stupid thing to do and am not sure if I should just go to sleep.
