I'm aware that this combination can be dangerous. I'm also aware that klonopin and xanax have very long half-lives. However, I am scripted 3 mg klonopin and 2 mg xanax daily.
The doctor said that drinking on the pills can magnify a drink by three or four. He told me point blank that it was safe to drink alcohol six to eight hours after the klonopin and three to four hours after the xanax. Following this, I haven't run into any trouble waiting about six hours and drinking. In fact, I don't really notice a difference, maybe even affected by the alcohol less. The pills also eliminate hangovers the next day.
So why is this often described as so dangerous but my doctor and personal experience clearly point to six hours or so being perfectly harmless?
