Hello all,
I have come to these boards alot but finally decided to post..
I have been on 5mg klonopin a day for about 1.5 years now prescribed for anxiety (I know a high dose) . Over the last month I kind of fell off some and have had about 10-12 drinks per night. I want to CT the alcohol, but am nervous about the effects it could have, as I know what can happen when you CT benzos.
I know I have been drinking heavy, but has it been long enough? If I CT the alcohol and stick with with the 5mg of klonopin am I gonna have seizures/wd from the alcohol? Should I drop it to say 4 beers for a few beers then hop off? Did not really want to post this as I am not sure if I am going to like the answers but hopefully it's not to bad.
I would like to just stop the alcohol..not the klonopin yet but I don't know if drinking heavy for 20 days is going to cause problems trying to stop.
Thank you for your input.
