I'm taking .25 clonazepam twice a day for my anxiety and pseudo-seizures and I just wanna know if the rumors are true. Am I sworn off alcohol for the rest of my life now? I'm not an alcoholic in my opinion but I just feel like I'm about to be 25 and a huge part of being young and social has been ripped from underneath me as an option.  I dont like being around drunk people or smelling alcohol if I'm not drinking so it makes me not wanna go out. But as an extroverted person I love being around people. I do enjoy a good time and having a drink or two with friends or family. Or getting socially drunk every once in a while. I feel like I just won't have that again with this medication or any benzo at that point but it's what I keep getting prescribed. its what works I guess. but it doesn't seem worth it. I dont even like the idea of taking meds forreal. I'd rather just smoke recreationally it helps me with my anxiety but my husband recommended pills because my anxiety was getting a bit much for him and I was in the hospital for an anxiety induced seizure for the first time in 3 years. so I did it for him. so I couldn't have drinks with my family at thanksgiving. my birthday and New Years eve is coming up. no egg nog at Christmas. I'm turning down events left and right and I just dont like that. I'm a very social person and I think I'm losing out on that just so I dont feel anxious. which sounds good sometimes. feels like a good trade but sometimes you have a stressful day and you want a beer. I dont wanna think about the google search that told me I might not wake up afterwards ya know? anybody taking klonopin/clonazepam and drinking comfortably? just curious. been too scared to do it. is there anything else anyone can recommend for anxiety that doesn't say you can never drink?
