I have already caught him once mixing klonopin and his methadone. But I am still very suspicious that he has do so over the week end at his parents house. I was just wondering if you could advise me as to what signs to watch for if I don't catch him right away. Like what the normal side effects within a day or two after that I would be looking for.
well 23 days of pure hell went by and i was introduced to suboxone from my old boyfriend who knew i was in trouble. That day he gave me one 8mg pill, and a 1mg. Klonopin and i actually got out of bed and all the hell was over. I have a doctor know who prescribes me 2 of the 8's a day, along with 2mgs. of klonopin a day. Believe me, i have my days where i want to be back on methadone, because like most, it became my choice drug, but it is a love/hate relationship.
So he takes 6-8 10mg/325mg of oxycodone a day, 1-2 10mg of cyclobenzaprine (muscle relaxer) a day, 1-2 ambien at nights and now the dr just added 2 10mg of methadone a day. By night he is slurring his speech, falling asleep. I am so angry about all these pills. He ends up buying oxy off the street because he runs out of his prescription before the time to refill.
Is he being overdosed? He is very defensive when I try talking to him about this. That's his addiction.
Yes it would work quickest of all. But that and Klonopin are nearly one and the same by way of benzos. Valium is another option. But once you start taken whatever kind of tablets you take you must look towards the time when you might have to stop taken them. Keeping it easier would be better. The Klonopin is a longer acting benzo. It wouldn't have the same kick in effect as Xanax. As in almost instant. But it is easier to manage.
I have been taking methadone for my heroin addiction and was prescribed Klonopin for anxiety. I been able to taper off methadone to 1mg and all of a sudden can't sleep. Restless legs is the worst. I take 0.25 of klonopin but it doesn't help. I know some sleep aids is benzos like Triazolam and it helped me before (i detoxed from Methadone 3 times) but this time i am on Klonopin which is another benzo. What can i take?
You might ask you doctor to get rid of Xanax or Klonopin and adjust the dosage rather than mixing both. I see no point in mixing two kind of benzodiazepine. You question was is it safe to mix both. Well it's ok to mix both but i don't see the point this is why i suggest you talk to your doctor about selecting only one of the two and adjusting the dose to your needs and lifestyle.
Klonopin has a longer half life then Xanax and also has less severe side effects. Klonopin can be dangerous if not taken as prescribed and should be used exactly as your doctor has recommended . As far as being the same , Well yes and no ! Klonapin has an eight hour half life and Xanax about three . But like I said most psychiatrist at UCLA will not write scripts for Xanax unless Klonopin does not work for a perticular patient .
Today he came down hard from his high and went off the road with his car. I am wondering if mixing these drugs are the culprit, and what the family can do about this doctor because he seems extremely shady, and my brother has sneaked off in the middle of the night to see him and always comes back high as a kite.
Hepatic Impairment
In a pharmacokinetic study of sixteen subjects with hepatic impairment (15 mild, 1 moderate per Child-Pugh score), both AUC and Cmax were approximately double the values seen in the healthy control group. Based on the findings, Cyclobenzaprine HCl should be used with caution in subjects with mild hepatic impairment starting with the 5 mg dose and titrating slowly upward.
I currently take 100mg of Lyrica twice a day and half a .5 klonopin twice daily. My Neuro wants me off the klonopin because she says it is bad in the long run. It seems to be the only thing that helps. She wants me to start Lexapro 20mg daily and wean off of klonopin. I hate Lexapro because the brain fog when I tried it 2 years ago. Two questions:
Is it safe to take all 3 at once (daily)?
Should I try herbal things for anxiety other then Lexapro?
55am, I forgot I took the celexa and I took Cyclobenzaprine. Do you think is something I should be worry? I looked online about the drug interaction and they say could be deadly. I am very worry. Any advice of what I can do? Do I gonna be okay? How long apart I can take those two medications?
He may give a sleeping tablet at night and the benzos at morning and afternoon times. Depends on the benzo as was stated above. Klonopin which has about a 12 hour lasting cycle I would imagine would never be given with sleeping tablets. Just a guess though. Because of what might accumilate in your system over the course of a day. May be too much for your body. Or one may make the other more powerful. Play it safe my friend.
Hi y'all! I just got signed up here I'm not got a addiction yet lol that's why I am wanting to ask everyone if someone could help. I just started pain management yesterday for thoracic outlet syndrome I'm in physical therapy I go two times a week and am trying to do anything to keep me from surgery. But anyways the pain doc I went to was a big butthole to me since he has never heard of what I have he almost didn't help even tho my thoracic doc requested me to go to him.
7 weeks ago he went on Suboxone and started to take about 4 mg of klonopin and 50 mg of valium along with 50 mg of seroquel. 5 weeks ago, the doctor started weaning him off the klonopin and changed him from seroquel to trazodone. ( the valium was never prescribed..he just took that on his own ).
On his own, he decided to increase his klonopin dosage and add seroquel back to his regimen.
There will be a period of time were you will be mixing and matching. One xanax in the morning, klonopin in the afternoon, xanax at night. Then slowly easing over to the klonopin over a period of time. By taking less of the xanax and more of the klonopin. Your doctor should know the full method. Then comes the the day were you don't take the xanax any more. But this can take up to a month or longer. It is a slow step over. You may feel slight withdrawls.
In my case I am seeing a licensed head and pill doctor. Had I listened to my pill doc I would be taking 3mg of Klonopin and 20mg of Paxil at this time. I've been on .25mg of Klonopin and 15mg of Paxil for nearly a year and things are working out fine. I only want to try to get off the Klonipin because if I can get along without it that woudl be best. If it turns out I still need it I have it to use.
Thanks for the support.
I was prescribed Vistaril today, I also take Klonopin at bedtime 0.25 mgs. Can I do both? Funny thing is my ENT doctor prescribed the Vistaril for me 25 mgs. at bedtime....... Since he's not a Psychaistrist will it be Ok to take both? I went to him because of breathing problems and the sensation of my throat closing up which I get 3 times a week!
Muscle relaxants like carisoprodol (Soma), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), and even diazepam (Valium), and clonazepam (Klonipin) are not narcotic agents, although the last two are benzodiazepines.
Ask your doc about dantrolene (Dantrium).
