Alcohol and Clonazepam: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 5 records that name Alcohol and Clonazepam together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Alcohol and Clonazepam. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

5 studies naming Alcohol and Clonazepam.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Comparison of two oral symptom-triggered pharmacological inpatient treatments of acute alcohol withdrawal: clomethiazole vs. clonazepam.

Alcohol and alcoholism (Oxford, Oxfordshire) · 2011 · PMID 21123365

Clinical TrialComparative Study

“Both score-driven treatments were equally effective, safe and well tolerated in this setting. This is the first study demonstrating the utility of clonazepam in the treatment of AWS syndrome.”

Bonnet et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Alcohol and Clonazepam in its title.

Successful Synergistic Use of Gabapentin With Other Antiepileptic Drugs in the Management of Lance-Adams Syndrome Complicated by Alcohol Withdrawal Seizures: A Case Report.

Clinical neuropharmacology · 2024 · PMID 39008544

Case ReportsHuman subjects

“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report documenting a patient with Lance-Adams syndrome and concurrent alcohol use disorder, with a positive effect of gabapentin use. Gabapentin, when used for alcohol use disorder treatment, may be an appropriate adjunct agent in the management of patients receiving combination antiepileptic therapy for the treatment of Lance-Adams syndrome.”

Chowdhury et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Alcohol and Clonazepam together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Prescription medication misuse among opioid dependent patients seeking inpatient detoxification.

The American journal on addictions · 2015 · PMID 25864607

Comparative StudyHuman subjects

“Despite the "nonaddictive nature" of some medications (eg, gabapentin, clonidine), high rates of medication misuse in opioid dependent patients admitted for detoxification was found and appeared similar to rates of misuse among controlled substances such as clonazepam and amphetamine salts.”

Wilens et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Alcohol and Clonazepam together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Alcohol, Clonazepam, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
