Wouldn't she have been alert and drug free? but she mentions working on Tango after being prescribed the Kolonopin. So I still am so confused as to when she started using it and when it kicked in making her a bit of a zombie. She seemed really good during the Tango press tour and videos. So she must have been working on Tango while touring and using. Then went to Betty Ford at the end of the year and was given Kolonopin when she got out?

The other thing is THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR came out 2 years after TANGO IN THE NIGHT and Nicks referred to that album as her "last good album" before Klonopin started turning her into a zombie. So yeah - it does seem that the Klonopin effect was largely after TANGO.
I think its likely she was off coke but still drinking quite a bit during TANGO. Whatever it was, Buckingham referenced how hard Nicks and Fleetwood were partying and how much that made it difficult to finish the album and impossible to tour behind it.
