Does stopping klonopin make you like alcohol less?!
I now don't like the feeling of alcohol very much. I pored out most of a beer, because I just didn't want it. Is that a normal side effect of getting off of klonopin? Does klonopin make people drinkers?
Answers: I am getting off of klonopin and have reduced my dose from 0.5mg a day to 0.125mg. I should be off completely in a few weeks.

Regardless of why you've lost your taste for alcohol, you shouldn't have been consuming it while you were taking the klonopin as it can cause serious consequences. Regardless, the clonazepam probably potentiated (made more extreme) the effects of the alcohol, and now that you're off klonopin you don't get the same buzz from beer. Another question is, why were you taking the klonopin? If it was as a sedative drug, you shouldn't try to calm your nerves with alcohol as the end result is that alcohol is ultimately hard on your nerves, even if it doesn't feel like it at first.
Well it doesn't usually turn people into drinkers....but it could reduce or increase your appetite for drinking.
Kolonopin is a mild sedative and when taken with alcohol increases those effects, so when you decrease your dosage of kolonopin your desire for alcohol could decrease accordingly.
Most of the normal side effects of getting off of it is lack of sleep, loss of any appetite, and slight anxiety. Otherwise it's a fairly easy medication to come off of.
No. If anything I think it would make you want it less by taking the drug.
You could just be going through changes from lowering your dose that are just making you not really feel great. So the beer just didn't seem good at the time.
no think its just probably the difference in the level of meds so the alcohol isnt effecting u the same way as it did when u were on a higher dose
