In reply to On klonopin now, how to do with parties/alcohol?, posted by tensor on December 2, 2001, at 15:02:50
Here is my advice:Drink some small amnts of alcohol in the privacy of your
own home while on/off a stable dose of
the medication. Don't operate machinery.
Become familiar with how you react
to your medicines so that you can manage the
situation in a safe manner later (not black out,
have trouble operating your car, etc).I can drink alcohol just fine right now while
on Klonopin, but if I tried it when I started
Klonopin I probably could have blacked out.
Also there is risk if you really go on a
binge of Klonopin and alcohol of going
into a coma.I fully understand your thoughts about
how to maintain fun in your life while taking
meds. It would be to depressing if the meds
got in the way of your fun! how ironic.Good luck,
john
