Alcohol and geodon, buspar, and klonopin. Dangerous?
Swim is going to a friends house tomorrow and plans on drinking. She was recently changed from 60mg geodon to 40mg geodon, and 1 mg klonopin. Swim is taking the klonopin for the first time today. Is it dangerous to mix those 3 medications and alcohol, possibly marijuana or spice?
Her doctor told her that combining klonopin with alcohol can be lethal, but then again she also said that klonopin and weed is dangerous. If anybody has combined these drugs before, please share your story.
Swim also might have sleep apnea, but it's not certain.

I forgot to add that swim is also taking Buspar.

Is it possible to die? I'm going this weekend most likely, I'm just planning on a few beers and a little whiskey. I found out I'm only .5mg Klonopin. Geodon is still 40 mg along with Buspar 15mg. Maybe some weed. If I just don't take my medicine that day will I be okay?
Re: Alcohol and geodon, buspar, and klonopin. Dangerous?
I would skip the clonazepam if you plan on drinking, at least until your body is more adjusted to it. If clonazepam doesn't make you drowsy, you can try combining it with a small amount of alcohol to see what happens. Combining alcohol and benzos can be risky--don't push your luck--but it's not guaranteed instant death.

So skipping just a days dose would be fine if I plan on drinking?
What about taking it with marijuana?
I heard its amazing, but respiratory depression or whatever is possible.
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT skip your Geodon dose whether you're drinking or not. I skipped my Geodon dosage once because I was too lazy to pick up my refill at the pharmacy (I was on 40 mg at the time). The withdrawal I got from not taking it was TERRIBLE. I was so beyond depressed, it was unbelievable. I had terrible aches and pains, was contemplating suicide, and just felt absolutely horrible. The depression I got from the withdrawal was so debilitating and I didn't even feel back to my normal self until almost a week later. Please, do yourself a favor and don't skip your Geodon dose.
