Klonopin Question? And Alcohol?

Question

Ok, so I have been suffering from a SEVERE case of Social Anxiety for the last 5 years of my life. It caused me to become dependent upon alcohol for every day activities such as shopping, going to a mall, parties, meeting with clients, even talking on the phone (sometimes). I explained this to my doctor and he prescribed me Klonopin. Now I read all of the horror stories about taking Klonopin and Alcohol ...I have been on the Klonopin for about a week now and it is working great. I have not needed to drink AT ALL. and I am also only taking it as NEEDED and not a daily thing. My question is, if I know that Klonopin has been out of my system for at least 24-48 hours can I still drink when I go to a party? I like to enjoy wine/champagne at cocktail parties. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

you will be fine! It won't kill you, it just intensifies the drunkness and can make you really messed up or black-out. If you haven't taken one in a day or so you have nothing to worry about!

Answer 2

Yes, you can! I take this pill as well. As long as you do not have a daily dose, you should be fine. 48 hours is a better time frame just to make sure the pill is completely out of your system. If you do have an anxiety attack that night, I would suggest taking one and leaving. It does take approx. 30 minutes to get through your system.
