What the FDA labels say
From the Chlordiazepoxide (Chlordiazepoxide Hydrochloride) label · effective 2025-08-26
Prescribe the lowest effective dosage; avoid or minimize concomitant use of CNS depressants and other substances associated with abuse, misuse, and addiction (e.g., opioid analgesics, stimulants); and advise patients on the proper disposal of unused drug.
The concomitant use of alcohol or other central nervous system depressants may have an additive effect.
From the Daridorexant (QUVIVIQ) label · effective 2026-02-26
CNS-Depressant Effects and Daytime Impairment: Impairs alertness and motor coordination including morning impairment.
Risk increases when used with other central nervous system (CNS) depressants.
Co-administration with other CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, alcohol) increases the risk of CNS depression, which can cause daytime impairment.
Dosage adjustments of QUVIVIQ and of concomitant CNS depressants may be necessary when administered together because of potentially additive effects.
Alcohol and Other CNS Depressants Clinical Implications: Concomitant use of alcohol or other CNS depressants with QUVIVIQ may lead to additive impairment of psychomotor performance and risk of CNS depression [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] .
