Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 29-year-old male. I am healthy and have been prescribed medicinal Marijuana (Cannabis). Recently given 1mg of tablet Clonazepam (Klonopin) for family trauma and sleep. I have been too scared to take one. I cut one 1mg pill into fourths. I took one-fourth of a 1mg tablet of Clonazepam (Klonopin) at 3 am yesterday when I could not sleep. I slept and forgot that I had taken it. I woke up and played golf all day and drank beer. It was ultra-light beer. I had dinner, a cocktail, and my nightly medicinal joint. This was done at 8:30 pm, and now it is 1 am. I have had only water. I am worried about my health and the tablet Clonazepam (Klonopin). Am I safe to sleep it off?

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and can understand your concern.

I want to know for what medical condition are you taking medical Marijuana? What is the dose and frequency of it?

From your query, I can understand that you have been prescribed 1mg of tablet Clonazepam for anxiety issues. Am I right?

Now are you asking whether it is safe to take the tablet Clonazepam or not for sleep and anxiety? When you have been prescribed this medication, and are you taking it? If yes, any side effects are you having after taking medication?

Kindly reply to questions to guide you better about it.

Thank you.
