ritalin

460591 tn?1207150799 Just to help study. I know this isn't good. I know most of you wouldn't agree because it is sort of abusing a drug. I just wanted to know the dangers of mixing the two. It's been approx 2 hours and I feel fine. I don't think anything will happen.
Avatar m tn He has a holistic doctor that has severely over-medicated him in the past and this doctor was told by the clinic to stop prescribing medication to him. Yet he still gets Klonopin and Ritalin from this doctor and I highly suspect he is snorting these substances. Today he came down hard from his high and went off the road with his car.
Avatar f tn My doc gave me Ritalin for ADD and Effexor for depression but this last one gave me too many side effects and I stopped taking it. Now he switched me to Wellbutrin (150 mg once a day) and 30 mg Ritalin. I have felt sick but am not sure if it is the withdrawal effects from stopping Effexor or the mixture of Wellbutrin and Ritalin. I feel brain spasms, especially in the back of my head. Today I did not take the Ritalin and felt no spasms.
Avatar f tn 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.
908382 tn?1243372602 I have been on 16mg day (now down to about 12mg) of suboxone for about 2years along with 1mg of clonazepam (generic klonopin) and 10mg 3xday of ritalin for adhd and anxiety issues. THE PROBLEM is I am trying to now be completely clean... because in NA i don't feel like I am fully and purely CLEAN! Suboxone is a godsend but i feel after two years i should try to work the NA program without a crutch.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn I am currently taking klonopin for my seizures, zolof for depression, and hydrocodone for tooth pain. If all these meds are taken at the same time is their a chance of blacking out or short term memory loss? The reason I ask is because it has happened to me and I need some info on this.
Avatar f tn Mixing methadone xanax and klonopin can be a fatal combination .Try to convince him to speak to his doctor about what he should do .
Avatar f tn I am taking adderall as apart of my treatment with bipolar and adhd. I also take neurotin 3xs a day and klonopin 3x's a day. I was just wondering has anyone taken adderall and ritilan and was there a big difference in the 2? I only ask because my insurance doesn't cover the adderall but it does ritilan. I really don't want to mess with my medication regime but if there isn't a huge difference in the 2 then finacially.....
Avatar f tn Your story sounds so much like mine. I've been sick with dysautonomia since 15. I'm now 28, and like you, living on a very limited SSI income. I've had good years and bad years, good days and bad days. I take these daily: Florinef, Lyrica, Norpace, Provigil, Prozac, and Ritalin. I take these as needed: Zofran, Valium, Celebrex, and supplemental oxygen. I also have a central line for daily intravenous fluids. By the way, this is my 7th month without fainting.
Avatar f tn but he said thats only if you r prone to seizures...so i went to drug checker and put in all my meds ritalin,xanax and wellbutrin....it says the combo of wellbutrin and ritalin really increases the chance of seizures and so does the xanx..so im scared to take it now,dr also said i could drink a couple beers and i think that increases seizures to.............I have never had a seizure so maybe im worried for nothing ..anyone been on this combo?
610098 tn?1220571896 Hi everyone, This is a great site and the people sound really nice here, glad to be here. My problem is im on vicodin, ritalin, klonopin and soma. i take the klonopin as prescribed for panic attacks,have been on it for about 9 years.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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 .
Avatar n tn 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?
6726276 tn?1421126668 You might expect that from ritalin, adderall and SSRI anti-depressants (which can cause agitation or mania in BP persons).
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn I want to know the side effects of suboxone and ritalin together and by them self's
Avatar f tn Im not doing to well on the ativan makes me feel like im on spin cycle,but less dizziness then the klonopin and not as depressed.............but klono helps my anxiety best,,,,,,,,,today i have taking both meds few hours aprt,,,,,,,,,has anyone else done this...............
Avatar f tn 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.
5155256 tn?1364419296 Does the doc who prescribed the Methadone know you take Klonopin too? Methadone and benzos mixed together is typically not recommended, due to the risk of respiratory depression, and even respiratory arrest. That being said, in some cases, docs will be okay with the combination if the doses are small enough, and if the medications aren't taken all of the time, or are taken short term. This is something you definitely need to discuss with your doctor before mixing them again.
Avatar f tn Just be careful mixing the methadone and the benzo. Benzos and methadone is a deadly combo. Make sure you listen to the others and call your pharmacist or ask your doctor.
