Can Klonopin Be Taken After Alcohol Consumption?
Question: Hi,
I had a drink 6 hours ago. I don't take klonopin regularly, but I took one now (its 2AM) because I was having trouble sleeping, but I forgot about the drink. Can I go to sleep without being worried about comma or respiratory issues?

Brief Answer:
One dose doesn't worry usually
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
klonopin is clonazepam, when taken with alcohol, will impair judgement, thinking and more drousy. Usually small dose of o.5 mg would not cause respiratory depression or coma. You can sleep well.
You shouldn't worry and take care not to repeat such in future.
