    Drinking while on it may well increase any tiredness. I've a couple of meds from the same family. It can also be addictive :(

    i havent had any alcohol since i was commenced on them...

    well (sneeky) likkle old me...

    hasnt been having the pm one till about 20 mins from
    bed time so i no if i do get a big 'urge' that i cant deal
    with, then its still safe..x

    but atm a bottle of voddy would be more affective than
    the bleeding pain killers & muscle relaxers :rolleyes:

    It's a tranquillizer, normally used to damp down the brain. I've been on it before too :o
    I suspect your doc may not have prescribed it if they knew about your drinking.
