Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.

70.5 mg is a huge dose of clonazepam. The effect may last for 2-3 days. Although it may not be life threatening in most of the cases, but it is advisable that you report to the ER immediately and you need to be admitted and kept on monitoring. Please don’t drive or operate any machinery during this period as your reflexes will be very slow and you may harm yourself. No alcohol over it in any way.
Do report to a doctor.

I would like to know are you going to take any drug test.


Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
