Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Alcohol potentiates the effect of restyl and if possible should not be taken together. It can lead to excessive drowsiness and difficulty in driving vehicle or operating heavy machinery. If restyl is prescribed for sleep disturbance and you are not having sleep even after drinking alcohol then you may take restyl over alcohol and its not contraindicated. But a dose of 0.25 mg is preferable than the 0.5mg dose. Seranace is not at all contraindicated with alcohol. Seranace can be taken even when one has taken alcohol.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
