[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yes, I asked my doctor, but now I'm being a Google stalker.  Looking for firsthand experiences.
Long story very short is I am afraid to fly (was actually in an accident years ago, different story) and my psychiatrist prescribed Klonopin for the six-hour flight. This is a trip to wine country where the objective will be to drink wine (and eat good food). My dr. said I am safe to drink the next day. But when I google Klonopin, it says it lingers for 70 hours?
I am not a pharmaceutical scholar. Is lingering in the body different from causing sedation? Could alcohol interact with the pill longer-term?
I feel like a buffoon texting my doctor and my local CVS is...no help. So here I am. Lay it on me, dcum.

You should never mix benzos with alcohol. But if your doctor is prescribing you Klonopin, it means your doctor thinks you have serious issues.

Would try to deal with those issues before trying to figure out the right balance of pills and wine on a trip to Napa. [/quote]

This is patently untrue. Please define serious issues, and please explain where in the post anybody contemplated "mixing" alcohol with benzos. Are you moonlighting as a Bravo scriptwriter? Stick to reality.[/quote]
