yes well death is certainly a possible 'side effect' if a person takes that many lorazepam pills nyquil and alcohol in the course of a few hours. sorry. i'm not trying to make light of this. it's actually a very serious situation. lorazepam is a drug of the benzodiazepine family. regular nyquil contains an antihistamine. and beer obviously contains alcohol. alcohol benzodiazepines and antihistamines all are sedatives. in other words all of those substances make you sleepy. they suppress the breathing reflex. when you combine them all together this effect becomes even stronger. so if you combine all of those substances together you can become so sedated you stop breathing. this is a very real and very dangerous possibility. please stay safe. do not combine medication (whether it's prescription drugs or over-the-counter) with alcohol. your friend is very lucky to have survived. i suggest he get some mental health counseling to cope with whatever problems he's trying to mask by taking so many sedatives. wishing you well.
10-12 pills of lorazpem a half a bottle of nyquil and 9 beers in the same night. side effects? . a male weighing 170 lbs. could it cause death?
