In reply to Mixing Benzos + Alcohol , truly bad or what?!? , posted by kid_A on July 19, 2001, at 16:31:46
Well hey, Kid_A!
Sounds like we're in the same boat. My experience has been this: benzo + alcohol = fast blackout. Benzo 12 hrs before alcohol = lowered tolerance/ greyout (on an amount that would normally just get me plain ole drunk).
Ya know tho, as my psychs so love to tell me, that alcohol effectively cancels out meds. I don't believe that completely because i still drink and my meds have made me feel relatively fabulous. I'd probably feel fantastic to the nth degree if I didn't drink though.
We are bad bad bad. Hopefully someone out there has some more scientific advice, but I just thought I'd tell you that I avoid my second dose of klonopin if I plan on drinking.
