In my humble opinion, alcohol and benzos should never be taken together. Both are CNS depressants, and one potentiates the effects of the other. This is a very dangerous combination.




Fluffy, you are absolutely, technically correct -- during the period before I recently got banned from DB, I was reading the board and writing posts after midnite, while sipping vodka on the rocks, having taken 2mg of Klonopin (for which I have an Rx from my doc). If you're into Hunter S Thompson and gonzo journalism, you can understand it was a lot of fun. The mods and many others on DB didn't see it that way.

Many were the night when I awoke at 3AM in front of a glowing screen with no clue what I'd done in the past couple hours. This a chemical combination, which needs to be approached very carefully. The earlier post from KittyKatBone, who almost did a "Jimi," is ample demonstration that the difference between passing out on your side and passing out on your back after mixing benzo's and alcohol may be the difference between waking up dead and waking up alive. I think it's more the quantity of alcohol consumed with respect to chances of mortality -- benzo's won't generally kill you, but they really do potentiate alcohol, which can cause you to choke in your own alcohol induced vomit. Well... this all makes me feel like I need a drink after having just taken my nightly Klonopin. See if I check in in the AM.

"War on ...." is the wrong metaphor!
