In reference to the following thread, is my amount sufficient for a coma?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=276x435

I'd taken two .5mg tablets of Klonopin and two 1mg of Ativan over a week ago. I had lost consciousness for 3.5 hours.

I'd done some reading and both drugs are in the same family and the combined dose is not very much.

Is that amount even remotely sufficient for a person to konk out for that long?

1. I have no experience with Klonopin
but 2 mg. of Ativan isn't that much. What do you mean when you say that you lost consciousness?

I went back to my cube.

The next thing I remember, something like 3 hours later, I recall waking up only to find myself looking up from the ground.

A coworker and supervisor drove me to the clinic. I only remember walking out to her car from work. Not even walking, they were both half-dragging me because I was so out of it.

I had also fainted in their waiting room. I don't recall going in the waiting room for one thing, let alone fainting.

I'd taken Klonopin for acute panic attacks...

2. I guess it's possible if you aren't used to the drugs
How long had you been taking them before the konk out incident? They say that you should sart out on a small dose of that stuff and work your way up to the recommended dosage.
