Thank you for your advice. I actually stopped taking the klonopin after I started drinking. The two of those together gave me a terrible alcohol dependence within a time-frame of three months. (as in, I went from non-drinker to needing ICU for detox). It's a really bad combination to mix benzos with alcohol.
I'm wondering now if drinking+quitting klonopin is to blame. By now, most the klonopin is probably out of my system. (It is a low dose addiction).
I'll sober up for the night, take my tegretol, and then try the klonopin in the morning, as prescribed. I don't think that a few days of drinking throughout the day is enough to give me the DTs. When I drank before, I was doing a fifth of Vodka by 10:00AM. The last few days have been a half-pint of vodka (about five drinks) plus around five glasses of wine -- these drink are spread across the whole day.
After the first night, I may have confused a hangover with withdrawal, which led to the drinking streak. As I said, I'm not actually getting drunk -- it could very well be psychological, I have a severe panic disorder.
Anyhow, thank-you for your advice. I have a doctor appointment on Thursday with my addiction specialist. We'll see what he says.
Thanks.
