What the FDA labels say
From the Doxylamine and pyridoxine (Doxylamine succinate and pyridoxine hydrochloride) label · effective 2025-12-03
Central nervous system (CNS) depressants: Concurrent use with alcohol or other CNS depressants is not recommended ( 5.1 )
Doxylamine succinate and pyridoxine hydrochloride delayed-release tablets use is not recommended if a woman is concurrently using central nervous system (CNS) depressants including alcohol.
Concurrent use of alcohol and other CNS depressants (such as hypnotic sedatives and tranquilizers) with doxylamine succinate and pyridoxine hydrochloride delayed-release tablets is not recommended.
From the Temazepam label · effective 2026-06-04
Although behaviors such as “sleep-driving” may occur with temazepam capsules alone at therapeutic doses, the use of alcohol and other CNS depressants with temazepam capsules appear to increase the risk of such behaviors, as does the use of temazepam capsules at doses exceeding the maximum recommended dose.
The benzodiazepines, including temazepam, produce additive CNS-depressant effects when co-administered with other CNS depressants such as alcohol, barbiturates, antipsychotics, sedative/hypnotics, anxiolytics, antidepressants, narcotic analgesics, sedative antihistamines, anticonvulsants, and anesthetics.
This behavior is more likely to occur when temazepam capsules are taken with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants ( see WARNINGS ).
