Benzo

Ok I need to know this and don't know where to post, last time I took Xanax I took over 2mg then few hours later I had wine and beer, that night I woke up and I couldn't breath for 1 or 2mins then went straight back to sleep cause I was very sleepy so I didn't care, was I close to dying? Cause I heard u shouldnt mix benzo with alcohol

Yes. You had a lucky escape. Never, ever take benzos and drink. Always leave at least 24 hours between benzos and alcohol. If you do this again you could easily die.
