i was wondering if anyone has any experience with this, because the only actual facts i found were on webmd. it informed me to not take alcohol because it would enhance the effects, so i downed a couple brews. seems pretty nice so far, but just my fingers dont like to hit the right keys while typing. and advice on takin it? i took 4 pills that were marked .5 on one side, and 723 on the other...

Well, klonopin is a benzodiazepine, which is the same chemical group as xanax and valium. They are hard to overdose on, but they can be dangerous if mixed with alcohol because both drugs depress the central nervous system. You had .5 mg pills, which is a mild dose. You can drink some grapefruit juice, which will help to inhibit the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 3A4, which is a liver enzyme that helps to metabolize certain types of drugs. This will cause the levels of klonopin to be increased in the blood, which will cause more pronounced effects, and also give the medicine a longer duration of effect.
