Xanax, Klonopin and Alcohol…. Should I Be Worried About Him?
Question by hereceivedacall: Xanax, Klonopin and Alcohol…. should I be worried about him?
I just found out my friend has been taking clonozepan (sp) … you know.. klonopin.. every day for a month.. and it makes him aggresive when he drinks with it… tonight it did… so his friend gave him som xanax… so he had his klonopin this morning… binge drank and then took xanax… should I be worried. I am so worried that this happened… and upset. I wish I could have stopped this.
He wasn’t prescribed any of these things. His friend gave him a bunch of klonopin and so he decided to start taking it every day to deal with his anxiety and such. It makes him not anxious, and really motivated to get things done. It also makes him feel more social. However, when too much alcohol gets in the mix, it makes him aggressive. It’s like he is just itching to get it on with someone. Thankfully he was taken out of the bar for the second time before anything could really happen. I am worried him taking this drugs in combination again…. I am almost positive that the klonopin and binge drinking will happen again….. Does anyone know anything more about the dangers of these combinations? I wish I could dispose of the klonopin, but I do not have any idea where it is kept in his house. I also heard it can cause dependency issues and withdrawal?

It depends on how much he took and drank. Keep an eye on him.

Of course you should be worried! Nobody is supposed to take alcohol with benzodiazepinic medicine! It’s dangerous! You can make things that you’ll regret all your life!
A friend of mine did that once and came to the fast-food on the basement of HIS building NAKED!
The owners recognized him and they didn’t call the police (only paramedics) but you can imagine how humiliated he felt a couple of day after that when he was obliged to say “Hi” to them all laughing!
The paramedics told him he did that but he had no memory of this event! He knows that it’s true because the day after, he found himself in the hospital and they told him and he saw people’s face in the fast-food when he came back home!
So you can do anything without knowing under this mixture!
It can be very very dangerous! You can even commit a suicide on the beginning!
Maybe his depression is not treated the way it should be!
