Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I am Dr.B.K.
The half life of bromazepam is 17 hours.
Since it is more than 24 hours from the last dose, I don't think there should be any issue.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Dr.B.K

So it would be safe to drink alcohol and I won’t have withdrawal either like a seizure no? I’m scared
