Avatar f tn 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.
472139 tn?1211332563 I do inted to do it the slow way dont worry but im not to up with klonopin, havnt tried it, is it strong enough to override methadone.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn is ur doctor aware of everything u r taking? benzos are not usually prescribed to someone on methadone...
Avatar m tn Thank you for your reply! I know this time is different. I was on methadone 3 times before and every time i was taking either Triazolam or Ambient. With Klonopin can't take anything and even Methadone was dangerous. Does Melatonin helps? I was researching about but of course mixing anything with benzo is not a good idea. I took 25 days off work, have rough road ahead. .
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!
1119036 tn?1259534815 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.
Avatar f tn I was able to get my hands on several Elavil, its an anti depressent that works wonders for sleep, I would take only one Elavil at night along with a few benadryl. I also took my prescription for Klonopin which helped a lot, and some nuerontin. As for the natural things, I had the luxury of having an infared sauna which really helped, I also went and got some Valerian Root for relaxation and Epsom salt with hot baths. You can do this.
Avatar f tn 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 (.5mg) along with the clonidine to help with the anxiety and withdrawals...also, any other suggestions???
541465 tn?1219427886 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?
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 agree with wait2long...I also take klonopin, and it does show up...
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar n tn Can you take methadome along with clonapin. I was prescribed methadone for pain and was on clonapin. I was told by the Dr who prescribed the clonapin that this mixture can cause respiratory distress and even death.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn mixing methadone with klonopin is very dangerous, It makes the effects of the opiate in methadone much much stronger and causes enhaced CNS depression and can cause respiratory arrest causing death.
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 f tn I finally switched to another doctor. The problem is no doctor WITH ETHICS will prescribe Suboxone along with Klonopin and Ambien. I had to convince this new doctor that I want to get off the Suboxone, but my anxiety is so severe. He told me I have been over prescribed and "I could lose my license if I prescribe that amount of Klonopin (1.5 mg 3 times per day). So, he gave me a script for 1 mg twice a day.
Avatar m tn and if so rehab ant a bad idea you have so much going on pulling you in so many different directions ....I have experience with methadone and your dose is low but you have been on it a wile so if you want to get off we can explain how to do that...I also have experience with benzo's and you do need to do that under a dr supervision they have to be tapered slowly or you risk seizures...as for the weed it may not cary a physical dependency but it will hook you physiologically...
Avatar n tn 30am. I have read how much messing with opiates with benzodiazepines is dangerous. I am not experiencing any difficulty breathing, and no sleepyness that is not normal. Was this a safe thing to do?
Avatar n tn I am not sure that in this day as of this time that suboxone is in the category with methadone...which was intended for long term maintenance with most having little intention of getting off the drug in their lifetime unless they were kicked off for abusing...but i have seen sevral strong troppers detox off meth on this forum...tired but so ready...I am not sure suboxone is in the same category as methadone as a maintenence drug and is still regarded as a detox drug...
Avatar n tn I don't know the mg of Klonopin you are on, but using it along with Methadone CAN be life threatening if your dose is high enough. Benzo w/d can be very dangerous, causing seizures. w/d from Methadone is VERY hard as it goes into your Bone Marrow and is in your body for a very long time. w/d from Methadone at 300mg is going to be EXTREMELY painful and you will get VERY sick from it.
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?
Avatar n tn Overdose on benzodiazepines is actually quite rare provided they are not mixed with other CNS depressants (I met a girl in the ER one day who had eaten 40 Rivotril 2 mg tabs (Klonopin in the US - thats 80mg of clonaz, a butt load of clonaz) and they just monitored her until they wore off). With that in mind, there are some risks, yes, so maybe if you take clonaz, first do so with someone around to see how you tolerate the medication; not everyone is going to have a Dr.
Avatar f tn 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 do not want to do rehab or 12 step because I have been doing really well and am a well respected, sought after, teacher. Except for walking weird and being slow getting up and down, I function normally on a day to day basis, until I come home and collapse on my bed and only talk to my two teenage sons from a lying down position.
Avatar f tn but if he can get away with that behavior with you..he will continue. I am sorry he is on methadone..that is a wicked med..can I ask why he is on such a powerful and addicting drug>.
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.
