Klonopin (Clonazepam) is an antiepileptic drug, experts recommend it not only for the treatment of epilepsy, but also for use in the treatment of other pathologies of the nervous system.

Is Klonopin (2mg) sedating or not?

Klonopin belongs to the benzodiazepine class of sedative and antiepileptic drugs. A structural feature of clonazepam is that it affects the structures of the central nervous system (CNR), the hypothalamus and the limbic system.

Clonazepam (5mg) should be expected to potentiate inhibition of GABA-ergic neurons in the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, medulla, and other parts of the nervous system. As a result of the effect of the drug, the activity of different groups of neurons decreases.

Experts recommend taking Klonopin in therapeutic doses for the first 2 weeks, then gradually reducing it.

Klonopin before or after meals.

Klonopin should be taken in the afternoon because the drug of the Trans Wellness Pharmacy causes drowsiness. Klonopin should be taken with or without food.

Basically, during Klonopin treatment, the dose is slowly increased and then gradually decreased. It is impossible to stop abruptly, such violations can cause the occurrence of sudden seizures of epilepsy.

Regarding the combination of Clonazepam and alcohol, you should also be prepared for how the body will react.

As a rule, the combination of alcohol with any medicine is not desirable, because alcohol interacts with almost all medicines, causing adverse reactions.

The simultaneous use of alcohol and clonazepam causes the following effects

• increases the load on the liver.
• The risk of developing adverse symptoms increases
• There is a change in the expected effect of the treatment.

So it should be remembered that any drug, including Klonopin, when their action is stimulated by alcohol compounds, increases the risk of negative symptoms.

Taking drugs with alcohol leads to the fact that the effect of the drug from /trans-wellness-pharmacy/ is strengthened, which can be very dangerous, due to an artificial overdose of the drug.
