methadone klonopin

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 ..

The pain level was still so intense I was put on a cheaper drug...methadone...I have been taking my methadone with my klonopin for approx 7 years and I never had any problems combining the two, but do be aware that they are both nervous system depressants and can interfere with breathing even though I've never had any issues personally. My doctors are aware of all my meds.

is ur doctor aware of everything u r taking? benzos are not usually prescribed to someone on methadone...

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?

My first suggestion to you would be to find a new doctor.Your doctor stopping your medication based solely on an entertainers death is too ridiculous to me for words.Secondly the 'stories' you hear about people dying from methadone and klonopin are usually people who are taking both,normally not under a doctors care.Methadone and benzos can be a fatal combination.

t too comforting but I will tell you this.....my klonopin withdrawal was much worse than methadone ever was. Benzo withdrawal is definitely worse in my honest opinon and i would bet that anyone that has been addicted to methadone and benzo's particularly klonopin because of its long half life, would tell you that the detox from klonopin is much worse.

ive been taking methadone 10mg sometimes twice a day for about 4 months...( this week only once a day).... and before that was on vicodin too many a day for about a year. ive tried to stop several times and get into the 2nd or 3rd day and relapse. i got some clonidine from my doctor, .1mg twice a day. long story short, today is my first day off and ive been reading some of these posts and i want to know if its safe to take my klonopin (.

I am on 3mgs of Klonopin a day, I start the methadone program on Monday (its friday now).. im afraid if i abruptly stop the benzo's ill have withdraw from benzos along with the terrible way i feel being sick and all... I heard its super dangerous... 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?

Mixing methadone xanax and klonopin can be a fatal combination .Try to convince him to speak to his doctor about what he should do .

I'm using klonopin to help me sleep while coming off methadone and narco. In the past when I've taken it, it doesn't do much for me. I'm not an anxious person. I'm worried I will have more withdrawals from that if I ever make it through what I'm going through now. How much can a person take? And how can anyone go back and start this cycle over after going through pure hell. Rat's learn, why can't we. I know the answer to the last question, I think.

At that time he just simply got feed up waiting so long. He has been taking 6-10mg of klonopin daily and dropping his methadone every 5 days. He is at 20mg of methadone right now. I have never taking either one. I meet and married him in the last 5 yrs(when he was already on the methadone program). My problem,question is now I feel he is acting high...really high. He cant keep his eyes open but at the same time is running around trying to conquer the world it seems like.

klonopin is a benzo...

A friend of mine has gone to the hospital multiple times from the same combo, with 90mg of methadone and 3mg of klonopin. I saw him take his klonopin and fall asleep standing up, then fall to the floor. I had blackouts from benzo methadone mix, though I was taking more methadone. It shouldn't be legal to prescribe those drugs together, the school of medicine considers it dangerous. So how did you end up on methadone and konopine and how long have you been on your current dose?

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.

say ur on 60 mgs of methadone then you never taking klonopin before THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS... but i wason klonopin before adding the methadone..then my pain doc talked to my gpdoc and wanted to go to a short acting benzo witch is xanax..i like klonpin better... so yes if yoiu abuse both you can overdose....lets say your on both at 20 mgs of methadone,,and 2 mgs aday total...then you stop it longer than 2 weeks or more ..then you start taking them together can be fatel..

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??

I have never heard of taking phenergan with klonopin or clonodine. Let's see, I took phenergan when I was preggo for morning sickness, valium and clonidine for the first 7 days of ct detox. I don't really understand what it is you are asking. Do you want to stop taking the phenergan or what? it doesn't cause w/d to stop taking it. Why do you take the clonodine? If you are using methadone, isn't that enough to keep you away from heroin?

I went to a psychiatrist a little over 3 years ago to be detoxed off opiates. I was put on Suboxone 8 mg twice a day and in addition Klonopin 1 mg three times a day. I've had repeatedly asked my doctor "when are you going to wean me off...."I think I'm becoming addicted to these meds." His response VERBATIM was "you probably are." I am now more depressed, anxious and don't know what to do.

perhaps taking anther half or another one at 9pm instaed of this dangerious cocktail. im suppose to take a klonopin when a methadone in the morning then the other one at night but i just keep poping them. im going to try taking a half of methadone tongiht and see if that will control me poping extras that will end up killing me .

If you go to jail and are on 300 mg of methadone and are addicted to klonopin cna you die from withdrawl?

I recently got hold of some klonopin and I am keeping them to use if I end up c/t off vicodin. I took one when I first got them just to see how well it did and it really knocked me out, which is what I was looking for, to treat the jimmy leg syndrome of w/ds. Anyway, is there a danger of addiction to these things also?

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?

s time to go back to school on Tuesday the worst of the withdrawals will be gone and I can back off the klonopin, maybe 1/2 if absolutely necessary. Is klonopin a drug that is hard to stop, even after one week? The next step will be to half the 5mg methadone. I'm wondering if it will be just as bad as going from 2 to 1. I hope not. Is there a normal somewhere other than with drugs? I want to feel normal again, but for me to feel normal I need a 5mg methadone and 4 narcos.

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.

Be VERY VERY careful with the Klonopin. Klonopin and Methadone can be a deadly mix. Even though you haven't taken any Methadone for a few days, it's still in your system. Also, as I'm sure you know, Klonopin is also a habit forming medication. Just please be careful.

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.

I will assume you are under the care of a doctor for your methadone maitanance. I am very naive about methadone w/d and did not know that anxiety was a symptom of detox. Your doctor may have been very smart in stopping the Xanax when he did. It is used as a very short term med and it pretty much maxes out around four months. After that time, it looses it's efficacy in fighting anxiety.
