I was prescribed 0.5 mg taken once a day by my doctor for 5 years. But I have been informed that this drug is only meant to be given on a short term measure. Anyhow whilst I was on this drug when I went to sleep it was like I was in sedation no one could wake me and if I ever drank 2 beers it was like I had drank a bottle of whisky j would wobble then I would go cold out can you please explain to me why? Thankyou so much Rosalyn.
