You should stay away from alcohol friend....it is in the same class as valium. Sedative/ hypnotic. If you had trouble with valium, you will have the same with alcohol. Valium is usually what they use in detox's to ween people off of their alcohol withdrawals so they don't seize because it acts the same in the body.

I was dependent on xanax.

No longer take it but I do drink.

Drinking isnt any different than it ever was.

Six months is a pretty long time even for a longer acting benzodiazepine. A doctor probably wouldn't recommend it, especially if you were physically dependent on it. They might recommend a longer time (1-2 years) or just advise you to drink very little. Cautious ones would advise you not to drink at all but say, "If you do, be very careful about it."

Valium is (possibly) the longest acting benzo available. I would definitely exercise caution with alcohol. That stays in your system for a long time which is why they use it to treat benzodiazepine dependence and alcoholism. There is a cross-tolerance between benzos and alcohol as they both bind to the same GABA receptor sub-type. That also explains why their effects are so similar.

I've drank moderate amounts of alcohol (1-4 beers) after tapering off clonazepam (probably less than 6 months). Most of the time, I didn't feel any noticeable side-effects. Sometimes, I felt brief rebound side-effects as I sobered up.
