too too much.
I took a klonopin for the first time in a couple days. and then my mom dropped a bombshell of an email on me a few mins ago. talked to T (((T))) that helped a bit.but I had to take another klonopin
very tempted to take way too much seroquel and just hibernate the rest of the weekend. decided not to.
to go from zero klonopin in my system to 1mg in 4 hours. is that bad? I can't sleep. took my seroquel 90 minutes ago. it's bad.
darn. darn darn.well.
i guess i'll go read in bed and hope to pass out.
my question-
better to take 1mg klonopin?
or .5mg klonopin and 1 drink of alcohol?
better in terms of feeling really really crappy and trying minimize self-destructive behaviors, dissciation and other baddies.
night

> nightWell if it was a single incident i wouldent worry.Klonopin doses in seizures range very high,around 20 mg.Of course you might not be in a seizure but in a highly stressed spot you just might simply have required more.
Klonopin usualy isnt a drug u escalte or build or abuse fast.
Now if you jumped to 1mg off the bat and find yourself needing this as a theprtic dose,then you might wanna look into that and talk to your doc,still doesent mean anything bad,as reasons could cause this,i.e other drugs etc,but again if it was situational then that is whatits there for.
As far as substiuting with a drink,i personaly dont drink i a bad mood,rather a good one.Unlike benzos,alcholol for me intensifies my current state,so if im doing well on meds ill treat my self to some social nights of some drinking.However if im doing bad,the acholol will just end up strongly worsening my state,so id safe its safe as long as u feel you know meds enough to do this.

Sorry L, hope you got some sleep.
I think Klonopin at 1 mg is a better choice than less dose and a chaser. 1 mg is not an out of question dose and is used by many as their dosing.

I slept, and no, I'm not supposed to drink with my meds (in particular klonopin). occasional sips are okay with the rest of them.
i feel a little better so far today. kind of out of it. I'm going to avoid my parental/sibling figures and and try to keep myself busy.
I might need to call pdoc for refill of the klonopin. this is kind of unprecedented amount of diverse stress from so many directions. I really don't want to get myself into some kind of depersonalized/dissociated crisis, because that's when I usually hurt myself.
so far the seroquel is good for 90% of the depersonalization/dissociation but in acute situations, the klonopin is pretty effective too. It's feels like I just don't CARE enough to worry about something. That can be a relief.
Seriously, my MOM sent me this e-mail well after midnight. unbelievable. I read it really fast, and felt that old feeling of paralysis and panic and wanting to die (despite having taken .5mg klonopin only a few hours earlier.)
I'm not going to read that email again until my T is in the room with me. it's that provoking.

I don't know what the others responded, but I would stay away from self-medicating with alcohol. Take the 1 mg of Klonopin.
Hope you feel better soon.
