Hi Ed, how are you doing... are you almost ready for Christmas... Ed... ever since Ame's death I've been thinking about my own use of medications and alcohol....
I went to a nurse practitioner last week to get abilify... I think I'm feeling a little better.. my mind is a little clearer and there's been no weight gain, so that's great...
The thing is, on clomipramine I'm still lethargic groggy etc.. and have no motivation to get my day started.
For the past few weeks, maybe four, I've been courting this romantic prospect I like in Calgary... but I've been using alcohol to calm my nerves, in conjunction with the clonazepam, (~ 6 mg/day t.i.d. that I'm taking)
I was warned by an american nurse and then by my pharmacist about respiratory failure, - that woke me up... I had two questions if I can.. ).... is it possible that by drinking lots of warm water, I might cleanse my liver and help the medications work better so that I didn't have to take so much clonazepam... and
I'm seriously thinking of leasing a hot water machine if that's the case....
and #2 could the clonazepam and alcohol (~ 2-3-shots a night) with pop... cause respiratory failure, or cardiac arrest.... and lastly could this potentially be offset my taking a respiratory stimulant such as caffeine.. I drink coffee every night with the alcohol and clonazepam... could drinking coffee reverse the effects of respiratory supression caused by alcohol and benzo's
