I am prescribed 1mg alprazolam (Xanax) as needed for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Approximately 4 hours ago, I had a few drinks (only 2, but they were mixed pretty strongly). I was getting ready for bed and running around getting things prepared for some shadowing tomorrow at an orthopedics office, and in my tizzy I forgot about the drinks I had and popped one of my Xanax to ensure that I would sleep. I am also on 20mg imipramine, which I have taken before with alcohol with no problems. I quickly realized my mistake--I'm wondering if this dose of Xanax plus the drinks that I had several hours ago is a potentially dangerous combination and I should induce vomiting, or if I will probably just sleep heavily.
