Klonopin or Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine drug that acts on the central nervous system to
treat various psychological disorders. It is a mild tranquilizer and treats conditions like panic
or anxiety disorders, movement coordination problems, and seizures.
Syndicate of Klonopin and Alcohol
Benzodiazepine is a class of drugs that contain diazepine ring and benzene ring and works to
treat psychological issues. Benzodiazepines work as the central nervous system depressant,
and since Klonopin is a benzodiazepine, it must not be combined with alcohol.
Alcohol also acts as a depressant of the central nervous system, and combining Klonopin
with alcohol amplifies each other's effect on the body. This elevation of their impact cannot
be said to be good because the increased levels of both the compounds are quite unfriendly
and affect the brain in a negating way.
Effects of Alcohol-
Evidently, alcohol has proved to very beneficial if taken in quantity of less than two glass for
men and less than one glass for women. But this is not the case that happens since most of the
people create a habit of binge drinking alcohol or at least ending up drinking more than three
glasses. The effects that alcohol puts on the brain are:
- Excess drinking leads to memory impairment; a person may start to forget things
often with overconsumption. These memory losing effects are temporary, but long-
term use can make these effects permanent.
- An unclear vision and coordination impairment are also probable to happen. You may
even find it difficult to walk properly. This condition leads to several road accidents
since a drunk person is not able to control his actions and reflexes while driving. Also,
that person drives with an unclear vision that highly increases the risk.
- The reaction time of a person is slowed down with the presence of alcohol inside the
blood.
- The person who overconsumes alcohol also faces difficulty while speaking, he/she is
not able to speak clearly.
- It is even possible for a person to feel lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, and a person
may even pass out for some period.
Effects of Klonopin-
Klonopin drug is used to treat psychological problems, but its's overconsumption affects the
brain greatly in a negative way. Some side-effects that occur are:
- It is possible to face memory impairment if more than the prescribed dose is taken.
This memory impairment has not known yet if it is curable or not. Also, the duration
of the impairment is not known.
- Since Klonopin is a stimulator of GABA receptors, the excess stimulation can lead to
coordination impairment. One may even find it difficult to walk or coordinate their
actions. It can also lead to blurred vision.
- Klonopin works as a sedative and puts an impact on the reflexes of the body. It slows
down the actions or reactions of a person.
- When this drug is overconsumed, it leads to slurred speech i.e., a person finds
difficulty in speaking clearly and may get stuck on some words.
- Nausea and dizziness may occur with excess intake. Passing out of a person for some
time is also possible.
Deduction of Klonopin's and alcohol's effects
Although there is much more to the side-effects of alcohol and Klonopin individually, the
above-mentioned side-effects are some of the common side-effects in both.
Since both of them share these serious side-effects, if taken together, then they increase the
risk of these side-effects, which may prove to be fatal.
