Please DO NOT!

Yes. That’s a very dose of diazepam and you’ve basically had a very weak drink.

you’d have to drink more, & a proper full-strength drink, and take a higher dose for it to be dangerous.

Absolutely fine. @Iflyaway have you posted on the wrong thread?

You'll be fine. It's not a high dose and shandy is barely alcoholic.

Bigchezemakeme · 12/08/2022 23:56

I’ve drunk a bottle of wine and taken 20mg - you’ll be fine.

Is this a new ITV sitcom

@Iflyaway oh come on seriously don’t panic the OP! 2mg is the lowest dose you can possibly get, it’s only prescribed for muscle spasms and not for anxiety or sleeplessness or any other uses of diazepam.

a pint of shandy is half a lager or beer.

On that low dosages that is NOT what is meant about not mixing diazepam and alcohol. 5 or 10 mgs of diazepam and a regular glass of wine or a large gin & tonic for example? No.

@Bigchezemakeme I hope so I’d watch it … although I can’t imagine much would happen.

I have a diazepam prescription. It’s stronger than 2mg. I have had a drink and a diazepam before occasionally it has not killed me. You’ll be absolutely bloody fine

mowly77 · 13/08/2022 00:02

@big diazepam is also good for hangovers so I guess you were getting in early, good work

Iflyaway · 13/08/2022 00:04

Sorry if I offended anyone.

I don't do that stuff. Pills.

I just smoke some lovely relaxing weed of an evening. Britain needs to decriminalise it

Yes, that's fine It's a small dose of diazepam with hardly any alcohol
I find alcohol the best medicine for Muscle spasm🤭I have CP

Hooray @LovelyYellowLabrador !

@Iflyaway OP was not taking diazepam recreationally she was taking it for muscle spasms. I do not ‘do’ diazepam recreationally. Let’s hope you never get ill and have to take any “pills”. But I agree with you about the weed! Legalise it. I have cancer. It helps with nausea and lots of things.

Iflyaway · 13/08/2022 19:43

@mowly77

I am sorry to hear about your struggles with your health. I would never judge people for taking whatever medicine they need. I'm lucky that I am pretty healthy, even in "old age" and who knows what's around the corner, eh?

So sorry to hear you have cancer. Glad you've found weed helps. It helps me too in life in general, luckily I live where I can get it legally. Sending healing to you.

mowly77 · 14/08/2022 11:53

Thank you @Iflyaway you are very lucky it is legal where you live! I wish we had dispensaries here; I have family in a country where it is legal & some of them sound very good. Hey and “old age” means nothing! Enjoy.

Should be fine.
