In reply to marijuana + klonopin + lexapro?, posted by starsky on January 9, 2004, at 13:04:33
I think I would heed his advice on the drinking, but not necessarily the pot (a lot of docs probably think they go hand in hand for a lot of people or have no experience with it themselves). I've smoked quite often on klonopin and lexapro and noticed no interaction whatsoever.
I take Lexapro and Klonopin along with Adderall and had quite a few black outs while drinking when I first started the Klonopin. I'm talking going from sober, then mildly buzzed and waking up with barely any memory. I've since stopped drinking heavily on klonopin and lex, but still have a couple drinks once a week with no problems. Benzos and alcohol can be a very dangerous combination for some people. Also, from what I've heard Lexapro can cause a lot of people's tolerance of alcohol to lower dramatically.
Just my experience. Hope that helps.
