How long after taking a Valium 10mg can you safely drink alcohol?

Valium (Diazepam) is a long acting benzodiazepine. Its effects last between 6-8hrs with lingering effects for up to 8 days.
Valium increases alcohols effects by 3x. It would be safe to say depending on how regularly you drink and if you can handle your drink, It is pretty safe to drink almost immediately after 10mg. If you want to be cautious, wait 3hrs and then start. NOTE: IF YOU MEAN GETTING DRUNK, THEN BEAR IN MIND YOU WILL RISK SEVERE AMNESIA AND IT IS LIKELY YOU WILL GET DRUNK MUCH FASTER WITH LESS ALCOHOL.
Also a good note; taking high doses of any long half life benzo (Valium, Klonopin) can have an effects for days. IE: you take 50mg Valium on monday, if you were to go out next day and get drunk you would notice a significant increase in effects, and it is likely you would get drunk on half of what you normally would.

Is it ok to take Valium with nopraxen?
I'm assuming you mean naproxen (Aleve)? The answer is it depends. If you are taking Valium as an anticonvulsent for seizures you need to talk to your pharmacist or doctor. Otherwise there is no interaction I would be concerned about. An important thing to mention is do not drink alcohol while taking Valium and always take naproxen with food. S - RPh
