Mixing Onfi (Clobazam) and Alcohol
Benzodiazepines are intended to be short-term medications, regardless of the condition they’re prescribed to treat. That’s because benzodiazepine drugs carry a risk of Onfi addiction and dependence. With most benzodiazepines, the course of treatment should not last longer than four to six weeks. Usually, the time period in which a patient takes benzodiazepines is even shorter.

Alcohol is also a CNS depressant with side effects similar to Onfi. When someone drinks alcohol, it also affects GABA receptors in their brain. That’s why people who drink excessively may feel drowsy, confused and experience coordination problems. If someone mixes Onfi and alcohol, they may appear to be excessively intoxicated. Both substances will heighten the effects of the other. This puts people who mix Onfi and alcohol at a higher risk of falling or being involved in an accident. Elderly patients who mix Onfi and alcohol are at an even higher risk of being involved in a dangerous situation.

When someone abuses multiple substances, they may develop a polysubstance addiction which is usually more difficult to treat. Mixing alcohol and Onfi can also increase the chances of psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression. Onfi and alcohol should never be combined together. Both have similar effects on the central nervous system and mixing them can be dangerous or deadly.
