I have multiple sclerosis and I am on Copaxone injectables so my neurologist increased my Klonopin to 2mg three times a day
Monday, Wednesday and Friday the days I do my Copaxone shot.
On Tuesday Thursday Saturday and Sunday I take 1mg three times a day.
Friday I took 2mg in morning noon and night Saturday I took 2mg morning noon and night today is Sunday and I would like to have a six pack if I don't take any Klonopin today is that safe??
I have drank on Klonopin in the past but it was only maybe a milligram in the morning just want to know if it's safe to drink if I don't take any Klonopin today
What's a safe distance away from last Klonopin dose to consume alcohol?

You are on enough Klonopin that alcohol could be a problem.Alcohol can exaggerate the effects of a med like Klonopin by 10 times.I think you could have half a glass of wine.You need to be very careful missing thiis medication.

They say that you are not ever supposed to drink while on clonazepam. I was on clonazepam for 10 years and I will admit that I did drink a few times on it. What I did is I made sure that I did not take my clonazepam knowing that I was going to drink and I only drank very little because there will still be some in your system even if you have not taken in the last 24 hours. If you take it regularly it does build up in your system. So it is something that you have to be very careful with. This is what will make you end up in the ER with trouble breathing. This is what most O.D.s are caused from and why so many people die each year. Sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for. Just read the paper every day there is someone who has died from this. You need to be very careful.
