thanks guys for letting me know the doses! i dont know enough of how alcohol works biochemically to comment on drug-drug interactions although i'm sure that almost if not all medication product insert would advise against using alcohol when taking medication - one may be because of drug interactions but another may be lowered "sensibilities" leading to possible dangerous (to self or others) acts? i dont know. everything in moderation is good but in terms of medicines, sometimes the presence of one medicine raises the level of another medicine (which is what drug drug interactions are all about) and the level of the raised med may be to one that becomes dangerous to a person physically.
in terms of dosing serzone at night, ive heard of doctors who do this but not at bedtime, rather at dinner time which would follow with what noa said regarding serzone taking a while to kick in and may also help lessen the morning sedation?
thanks for your feedback!
