What happens when you overdose on Klonopin?

Question

I think that is how you spell it. My husband and I were at an out-of-town tailgate this weekend with another couple. We did not know the people we were tailgating with but they ended up being major drama queens and rather immature. Anyway, one poor drunk girl (who obviously has serious problems) got really crazy at about 4:00 in the morning (we were asleep in the guest bedroom) and apparently took 30 Klonopins (sp?) She told her friends to call EMS. We were awoken with shouts, insanity and all sorts of drama. Anyway, since we were awake and didn't really know these people well, we drove home shortly after the ambulance picked her up. But now I am wondering, does anyone know someone who has done this? What exactly can 30 Klonopins do to you? I am not even sure what this drug is. And keep in mind, this was after mass comsumptions of alcohol. This girl was ridiculously drunk. I have not heard how she is but now feel concerned even though I don't know her. I

Answer 4

I took 80 klonopin last summer. I was walking around for a week with absolutely no brain whatesoever. I am told (don't recall anything) that I was walking around town in my underwear ,lying down constantly to sleep in the street or wherever I was. After about a week of this it wore off and I was fine. I have to say 2 things though. First I was pretty damn lucky not to have permanent damage. Second, since I had been on a prescription of klonopin, my body was very used to it and I built up a tolerance: this helped me absorb the drug quite a bit.

I was suicidal and took 60 1 milligram pills all together. I was rushed via amulance to the ER where my stomach was pumped and was in the hospital for 3 days getting validated. The doctor said if it was any 10 minutes later I would be dead. My heart would have stopped. More than likely the same thing would happen at a 30 doses.

Klonopin is in the class known as benzodiazepines. this is the drug class that includes xanax, valium, ativan etc...i.e. they are central nervous system depressants. They act on the CNS to reduce the amount of activity and speed of neurotransmission...basically they sedate you alot. when you take klonopin with alcohol it has the chance to boost the affect of the alcohol or the affect of the klonopin, both having terrible effects on the body...either way, she will probably be okay because luckily there is a benzodiazepine reversal agent called Flumazenil...it reverses the effects of drugs in that class so more than likely she is okay.

Answer 8

Clonopin is in the class of drugs referred to as benzodiazepines, like Valium and Ativan just to name a couple. It is used for treatment and control of seizure disorder as well as anxiety. If enough Pills are taken then the muscle system in the body will be paralyzed. You need chest muscles to breathe so if the patient goes into a deep enough coma and breathing subsides then death will occur through Oxygen starvation to the brain.
