Pedal clonus

Posted By Richard S. on November 26, 1998 at 13:15:54:







A recent neurologic exam uncovered bilateral clonus at the ankles (+2).
The examination was related to a severe fall with trauma to Rt. hamstring
group. No sensorimotor deficits noted on standard neurologic workup other
than the above mentioned clonus.
I am a 57 yr. old healthy white male, Ashkenazic jewish heritage. I take
50 mg. Cozaar for mild hypertension probably secondary to 35 lbs. excess
weight and smoking 1 pack of cigarettes/day. Active person, cycling 4x/wk.
I also take 20 mg. Prozac/day for chronic depression. I have been on Prozac
for only 1 month. I also take Xanax only when needed (0.5 mg) for paraspinal
muscle spasms secondary to vertebral biomechanical instability as a result
of an injury to the left Hallux 15  yrs. ago (average daily dose of Xanax
is about 0.125 mg).
QUESTION: Can my clonus be a result of mixing Cozaar, Prozac, Xanax and
          about 22 ozs. of standard beer/day (alcohol content = 3.4%) ??
          THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. !!!
