> Jedi the times I felt the best were when they didn't know that benzos and alchohol shouldn't be mixed respiratory depression they say but for over 20 years I drank with the benzos and felt relief of anxiety. Funny been completely dry and I'm afraid of alchohol now. ll years of dryness. I also used to fall asleep immediately after drinking which always was after working 3-ll so my way of relaxing. Now it's a book and waiting for meds to kick in. And who's to say that they meds aren't doing more damage to our livers than alchohol would. Love Phillipa
Phillipa,
I think it's been proven that a couple of drinks are positive for your health. Maybe a little less for women. The trouble is when a couple of drinks leads to more and alcoholism. It is one of the most destructive drugs when abused. I've seen some pretty nasty things happen with people on alcohol, I'm sure you have too. I was a problem drinker when I was young but not an alcoholic. I don't have an addictive personality, though I'm sure it would take a while to come off clonazepam at this point. Not to give someone the wrong idea, but mixing a small dosage of benzos with a couple of drinks is not going to kill you. It may intensify the effect of both drugs, but to a small degree. Again, everyone is different, and to a naive user the effects could be substantial.
Wishing you better health,
Jedi
