Avatar n tn i am currently on 60 mgs of methadone a day and 1.5 mgs of klonopin, trying to wean down to nothing. i was at 4mgs of klonopin a day and 4 mgs of lorazepam a night. now im down to 1.5 mgs of clonazepama dn 23mgs of lorazepam. i dont ever have any problems with the two but i personally know ppl who have died from benzo and methadone combos.
2199177 tn?1338581361 Now, if a doctor prescribed this knowing about the methadone, then you need to go with that. You could also google interaction of Klonopin with Methadone. Have you taken it yet? How do you feel?
541465 tn?1219427886 Is that safe? The only interaction that i am worried about is the methadone. I was kinda bad and gave all all my klonopins to a friend (at the time she needed it, but I do have seizures so i must take benzo's), All i had let was 1.5 mgs of Klonopin, 0.2mgs Chlonodine, 1 mg ativan (another pill i found with the tramadol)., the 200mg Seroquel ( well right now, i cut them in half i i dont need it), Its hard to pee at the clinic when they have the random urins, and that 50 mg Tramadol.
Pig Can I take Ativan after taking a klonopin last night.
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.
216046 tn?1193943404 My question is, has anyone heard of lyrica causing withdrawal symptoms when taken w/methadone? I was given Tramadol(Ultram) w/ methadone and thought I was going to die with the interaction it caused!!!
1119036 tn?1259534815 i have been on methadone for 12 years current dose 64mg once a day liquid form. I also take 4mg klonopin daily for about a year...just a few days ago my doctor said he was scared to refill my klonopin because of the Micheal Jackson crap and cut me off cold turkey i feel like **** really bad and i am afraid i am in danger.
Avatar f tn I ALSO TAKE KLONOPIN 1MG THREE TIMES DAILY. THE METHADONE MAINTENANCE DOCTOR PRESCRIBED THE KLONOPIN AND SAID I COULD TAKE NO MORE THAN 3 MG PER DAY.MY QUESTION IS, IS IT SAFE TO ADD CELEXA TO MY MEDICATIONS (40) MG CELEXA 1 TIME A DAY? I ASK THE CLINIC, PHARMACIST AND PCP AND ALL 3 SAID I SHOULD DO OK BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR MORE LIKE:DEFENATELY I CAN TAKE THESE 3 MEDS TOGETHER. ANYONE CAN TELL ME IF THIS IS DEFINATELY OK??
Avatar n tn t have if he though there was any danger. If he didn't, I'd either ask him, or a pharmacist.
Avatar f tn ll alternate between the valerian and the Klonopin, and only on as as needed basis. I am trying to keep my prozac at 40 ml, as more than that does keep me awake at night. I've nearly reached menopause, so maybe my good sleep of the long-ago past will some day return! Sorry this is so lengthy, Dr. Rajput!
472139 tn?1211332563 Klonopin is a benzo...it does not have avery powerful onset like xanax but is just as strong as xanax...i was told that valium is a better choice for detox as far as addiction to the benzo goes...sounded odd as valium got such a bad reputation when it came out but it was one of the first to really hit the markdet and be prescribed alot....i researched it and found that it is true...valium is safer than the two mentioned above..all should be used with caution...i used it during detox and ..
Avatar f tn I think the combo of the two-methadone and klonopin- are reacting and causing it. In some people, meds have the opposite reaction. What should make him calm and collected, can aggitate him. If you can, notify the MD about it ASAP. I bet he stops the med. Ohh, i'm so sorry you are having to deal with all this. We as addicts just don't have any idea what we do to those who love us. He is extremely lucky to have you.
Avatar n tn If you go to jail and are on 300 mg of methadone and are addicted to klonopin cna you die from withdrawl?
Avatar f tn s. I take 12.5mg of methadone and 1mg of klonopin daily, and I have no problems at all. Any increase in the klonopin my doctor bumps me up .5mg at a time. If you just up and took 8mg of klonopin your first day, whether you take methadone or not, the outcome may be fatal. You would probably be alarmed at how much oxygen you are depriving your body of when you take medications at such high doses.
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?
541465 tn?1219427886 cant i break a 25mg of phenegren in half and take it with my Klonopins and Clonodines. MIND YOU I AM PRESCRIBED THE KLONOPIN AND THE CLONODINE, its just the phenergan that i get from my friends. If i dont take it, i cant feel my benzo working on my anxiety. when i do take it, it just knocks me out. HELP... ps, im also on 120 mgs of methadone. WHAT SHOULD I DO (and i know "don't use!
541465 tn?1219427886 I have been on Benzos (Xanax, klonopin, Valium) and Methadone for 9 years now and no adverse side effects! The doctors urge people to keep them apart because you can overdose if not careful. But, you can overdose on almost anything with Methadon and I have a bottle of tramadole here with 500 in it and it's just trash cause I know it can put you into withdrawals!
Avatar f tn Alex, I wouldn't say methadone is the hardest drug to come off, albeit it is one of the hardest but withdrawaling from benzo is much worse, i've been on both sides of the fence. And telling the Thread Starter that methadone is the worst drug to come off of isn't too comforting but I will tell you this.....my klonopin withdrawal was much worse than methadone ever was.
Avatar f tn Yes you can treat while taking it. I am on Methadone for 16 years and have found a doctor who thinks he can get me in a clinical trial The bad thing is that when you take methadone or suboxone they think you will not finish treatment and will relapse and they will not accomplish anything or you will reinfect your self in the future. You can treat successfully it is just getting them to do it and get past the bad feelings for the drugs we are treating with.
Avatar m tn As I understand Methadone is broken down by an enzyme which is greatly retarded by Clairithromycin, this ay cause an overdose to occur in the user. I have been taking Methadone for 5 years now (was at 180mg/day now at 10mg/day) can I safely take the Clairithromycin? This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/Undiagnosed-Symptoms/Methadone-and-Biaxin/show/203162">Methadone and Biaxin</a>.
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.
541465 tn?1219427886 I actually ODed on 60mgs methadone, 2 mgs klonopin, 0.1 mg Clonodine, and Phenegren... BAD COMBO....was it the other medications or the Klonopin that made me OD?
Avatar m tn How long were you on the Zoloft? Because whether or not he was having issues with it if he was on it for an extended period of time,part of this could be w/d's from the Zoloft. Paired with (I wouldn't say really high dose,because my little sister is on 170ml and she's only 120 pounds. That's a high dose) the methadone and then some anxiety ontop of all that. Deff get in and see your doctor hun. You need to get to the root of this issu asap!!!
Avatar f tn I do have fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease, My Rheumatologist is hard to get in to see quickly but I am wondering if savella she gave me could cause serotonin syndrome? All I take is is lisinopril savella and the methadone. Could methadone contribute to serotonin with the milnacipran? the savella seems to be helping my fibro. I have also came down 60 mg on the methadone in the last year.
Avatar f tn I'm a week off narco and about 2 to three weeks off methadone.
