Okay, long story short. Been taking .5 mg xanax daily for about a week due to travel, flying panic etc. tonight decided to quit as I'm afraid of addiction. Started getting some anxious withdrawls and panic feelings. Decided to try and easy this feeling with 2medium or smallish glasses of red wine. Did not work, the panic is worse. Can I at this point take a half a xanax or .25 mg to ease my symptoms, or should I wait for a few hours for the alcohol to wear off? I'm by no means drunk and barely feel the wine, just a light buzz, but the anxiety from having taken .5 mg of xanax for 6 days and none today is just too much.

Never take any meds with alcohol. Never self diagnose and up your med dose. Contact your doctor.

xanax, klonopin, ativan, and all the other "anxiety meds" will do more harm than good. they are supposed to be addictive so you'll stay on them and the drug companies will make their money. ur body is going thru withdrawls and there is probably still xanax in your system so dont drink anymore or take anymore xanax. the withdrawl should wear off in 3-7 days. there is a label on the bottle that says do not drink alcoholic beverages when taking this medication.

DO NOT MIX!! Mixing Xanax or Ativan or any other anti-anxiety medications with alcohol can be deadly...There was a case many years back when a young girl took something similar to Xanax, had a couple beers, and died. Don't risk it.

Dont mix. Have another drink and go to sleep and call your doc tomorrow. Drink soemthing besides wine. Some wines, well most, contain sulfites which can cause your breathing to slow and therefore fuel your panic attacks. Hope all is well. I happen to be drinking vodka and OJ to help get rid of my anxiety right now.
p.s. I am not saying to self medicate with alcohol. I do totally understand what your feeling and a drink does help take the edge off anxiety big time.
Take care!

From personal experience I think xanax makes you feel like that so take your medicine before you have a panic attack..and then do not drive my husband has mixed xanax and drinking and wrecked two cars one of them into someones living room..stay safe

No! do not mix alcohol with any prescription.It is written on the prescription bottle.If you do, be somewhere you can sleep.It will cause drowsiness.I have a sister that is on the same drug.I can tell when she is using both together .I do not drink so I pick up on it.Her words are slurred and she makes no since and usually can 't even find the bathroom It can be a deadly combination

why would you soak wine and xanax bars in a tub? soaking pills will make them dissolve, and the wine in a glass? Gone, into the water. It is better to put all that stuff in your mouth first, then get in the,,,,, Oh i get it .... LOL

call the pharmacist atleast! and i find warm showers relaxing. i hadn't had an anxiety attack in 8 yrs. the kind where you hyperventilate and can't breathe. but i wasnt on meds back then. i am on zoloft. its not as powerful as xanax but with any medication you can not just quite cold turkey. you have to taper off. call your doctor first thing in the morning.
