Can klonopin in substantial amounts cause aggressive behaviour?!
Question:
Can klonopin in substantial amounts cause aggressive behaviour?
my friend took like 8 mg of clonazepam (klonopin) and beat up his grandma and girl friend, then blamed it on klonopin any truth to that?
Answers:
hi stoner, if he took 8 mgs at the same time, its a wonder he didn't die from respiratory or cardiac suppression... oh my! i have been on klonopin for years but no where near that dose. and aggressive behavior is not one of the side effects. 4 mgs of a benzo (family of meds that klonopin is in) is the highest dose anyone should be on...ever! if your friend is prescribed 8 mgs a day, that's way too high. and if he took 8 mgs at once, he's likely to do anything. he may be taking klonopin for anxiety, but he also has aggressive behavior problems which is a whole other story and different treatment and med's are used for this. he needs to be in treatment, i hope you can get him there before he hurts someone else. good luck! i hope this helped! :)
