Clonazepam Help Me (Page 11)

I have always used the same brand of clonazepam. However they changed what is in the medication. I've been gravely ill because my body can't take the change. Now I want to not take it any longer because it's making me ill. How can I detox slowly if I don't have a decent batch of clo that agrees with me? If anyone has any real information please let me know. I'm ill feeling every day if I take it it makes me ill and get withdrawal If I don't take it I get still getting withdrawal.

Its weird you said that about you teeth hurting I was just coming from seeing my son in the hospital and I noticed my teeth on the upper left side of my mouth were hurting. I was thinking good Lord another doctor now for that. I need dental work anyway but when they told me over two thousand for two teeth, I couldn't afford that. Does your sister have side effects from the Zoloft. I read one review and this particular girl was so pleased with it she looked forward to taking a Happy Morning Pill. But that's just one person. I am glad your Mom got approved it seems like the people who really need it have the worst hassle. I have called the eye doctor, but they haven't called back. Thanks for your concern.If I was able to take my percocet 7.5 the mouth pain would go away but I am only allocated three a day, it's just the are short acting and wear off then it's withdrawal. Take care Be Safe

Jacqueline, I'm sorry that your son is in the hospital. Hope that he will gets well soon. I certainly hope that the pain in your teeth isn't from the Teva brand of clonazepam. The only side effect that my sister has told me with Zoloft is that she was getting dry mouth. I wouldn't call Zoloft a happy pill I took it for about five years, didn't fell like a happy pill to me. But I use to call the barbiturates my happy pill, but that's over fifteen years ago. I was suppose to get a bridge put in my mouth this year also but since I've been having so many problems with the clonazepam, one being jaw and teeth pain, the last thing I want to do is have to get use to a bridge in my mouth. It cost over two thousand dollars with ins. I hope that your son will recover soon and that you can get to the eye doctor really soon. God Bless you.

There are many different manuufacturers of the same drug. Just ask your pharmacist to give you a different one next time. If they don't have another brand, they can order one for you.

Hi Sarah, thought I would check in with you and see how you are doing. I wanted to ask you if barbiturates that you mentioned doing you some good is that the same as a firocet? I have to use those for migraines since the neurologist don't want me to take Imitrex because of the brain vascular disease. They just help somewhat with the headache pain and that's it. I think I told you he switched me back to Klonopin from the Xanax and that's been a nightmare. I tried the Teva brand but it's not working well. I have a few Klonopin from before from Sandoz but the .5 is not right so I'll just use up the 1mg and see if I can take Klonopin at all anymore. I was doing pretty good on the Xanax and had cut myself down to just two a day. My high hopes on the Sandoz generic adderall fell through. They affect my heart pretty bad. I am not going to bring them back, I am sure he is tired of that so I'll scrap pieces of the Barr version. They don't work as well but at least they don't give the heart problems. I looked on the bottle last night from the company that manufactured it and it said Zydus. No wonder I was not able to take them. That was the company that caused the worst Paxil sickness. I was reading and article from consumer lab. They are the ones who are able to get stuff done with the FDA on these no good generics. They told about the medications coming from labs out of India. So if you need prescriptions filled try and make sure it's not manufactured there. They discharged my son. His leg looks really bad with infection, but remember I told you he is a drug abuser so they don't let him stay long because he is having to take pain meds with this problem and they don't want to give him that luxury. I hope your family is doing good. I know that takes stress off of you when they are. God bless you and I appreciate your prayers.

Message sent held for review. Wanted to add something. My Ternormin I take from Sandoz for heart value problem has not worked well at all this month. It's like another bad batch. Like yours and my Klonopin.

Hi Jacqueline, I'll keep checking for your msg. If you have heart problems for sure don't try Celexa. I hope and pray that your son is doing better. And I hope that the Sandoz Adderall is working for you. I'll wait for msg before I send another reply. Seems like Sandoz can't be trusted anymore. God Bless you

Dear Jacqueline, Omg, the Sandoz Adderall aren't good either. Sandoz can't be trusted. And, yes the barbiturates are the Firocet. You mentioned Barr do they mfg Adderall and which pill is mfg by Zydus? If Barr is still good can you still get them? I'm sorry about your son's problem he's been in my prayers. God willing he will decide to go to detox. I know that the Teva brand of clo. aren't any good, I had a really bad time on them myself. Where you able to get to the eye doctor? Maybe one of the meds are giving you the blurred vision. I got blurred vision on one of the meds that the doctor gave me. I stopped taking them right away. Oh Lord Jesus, help us. Praying so hard for you. Please keep me updated. God Bless you.

Sarah, teva has taken over the Barr and it not nearly as good as the instant release I was taking before it was recalled, but it doesn't increase my blood pressure or make me feel like I am having a heart attack. It may increase it some but not like the others. Those are available but I have to wait another month so I'll scrap pieces of those to get by. I made a big mistake getting the Teva Klonopin, I should have just went back to my original pharmacy and got Sandoz but it's to late for that. The Dr. Called back about my eye, nurse rather and told me to start back on eye drops if it don't improve I have to go in. My son has no desire for a detox. He was a
Tall good looking boy but now he is a broken body from neglect, fights and drugs. But thanks for your concern. I appreciate your prayers.

Sarah, zydus is the company that made the Paxil pills that made me so sick. I found out today they also made the effexor that caused problems in the past. I don't want any thing by them. God Bless

Jacqueline, I'm glad that you have something to get by on. I was really worried about that. Teva seems to be taking over everything, including the Activist clonazepam. That's why I don't want to start on them because I may end up with a big surprise if they just change it .It seems like all CVS carry Teva clonazepam because that's what they carry here. It's really a shame about your son, but we are not going to give up on him. I pray that some day he will realize that he needs help. God willing the eye drops will help you. Ok keep in touch, may God Bless you and your family.

Com exceção à aqueles que acham muito 'penoso', abrir mão de um 'happy-hour', diariamente, após o horário de trabalho,e emendar os Sábados e Domingos,regados à muitas cervejas e destilados 'nestas situações, não é tão difícil abandonar o clonazepam, ou outro qualquer benzodiazepínico',pelo fato,de que o campo 'serotoninérgico', não deixará de ser devidamente recompensado,mesmo porque,bebidas alcoólica,também são agentes depressores do SNC (Sistema Nervoso Central). Já, quando passa a coexistir alguma situação,em que se façam necessários, o uso de antidepressivos e (ou) ansiolíticos benzodiazepínicos,é imperioso 'cortar' este hábito, vale dizer uma tarefa bem complexa, e quase impossível,para certos indivíduos. Para quem faz ou fez uso prolongado de qualquer 'benzodiazepínico', não resta outra alternativa,como fazer o 'desmame' de benzodiazepinas, 'e isto vale para todos os medicamentos desta classe',normalmente através do Diazepam,associado à algum 'estabilizante de humor', como a Carbamazepina,por exemplo.Talvez uma 'inclusão' de vitaminas do Complexo B, possa ser necessário,via oral ou parenteral,pelo fato de que remédios com propriedades anti-convulsivantes,consomem bastante esta classe de vitaminas.Pelo menos pode ser útil para uma 'desintoxicação' orgânica,por um curto e médio período de tempo. Daí pra frente, somente uma prescrição 'personalizada',e individualizada,pode ser aplicada; já que nem todos os 'organismos' vão reagir de forma positiva,a esta 'combinação',ou outra,prescritas por 'profissionais da área' de Saúde.As vezes,a diminuição progressiva de benzodiazepinas,associado à algum estimulante do SNC,sejam eles derivados anfetamínicos,ou de outras origens, podem se fazerem necessários,para reativar o equilíbrio do GABA 'ácido gama amino butírico', ainda que por um período relativamente curto,pelo menos,já que são visivelmente afetados,após uma 'interferência química',que age diretamente sobre o sistema GABA,no caso,as benzodiazepinas.Outras medidas,como 'mudanças de hábitos',entre outras,também podem serem úteis. Deve ser levado em conta,que de qualquer forma,o desmame de clonazepam,ou outro semelhante,implicará em 'longas noites' de insônia,com ou sem o uso e estimulantes,do tipo 'anfetaminas,cafeína,guaraná em pó,ginseng, entre outros. O uso temporário da substancia Levomepromazina, Tioridazina,dentre 'outros Neurolépticos' de efeitos sedantes, em baixas dosagens, como 'indutores do sono', não devem serem totalmente descartados.

Google Translate (may not be 100% accurate):

With the exception of those who find it very 'distressing' to give up a happy hour every day after work, and mend Saturdays and Sundays, washed down with too many beers and spirits in these situations, it is not so difficult to abandon clonazepam, or any other benzodiazepine, because the 'serotoninergic' field will not fail to be adequately rewarded, even though alcoholic beverages are also central nervous system (CNS) depressants. However, when there is a situation where the use of antidepressants and (or) benzodiazepine anxiolytics is necessary, it is imperative to 'cut' this habit, which is a very complex and almost impossible task for certain individuals. For those who make or have used prolonged 'benzodiazepine', there is no alternative, such as weaning benzodiazepines, 'and this applies to all drugs of this class', usually through Diazepam, associated with some 'stabilizer'. such as Carbamazepine, for example. Perhaps an 'inclusion' of B-complex vitamins may be necessary, either orally or parenterally, because anti-convulsant medicines are quite consuming this class of vitamins. At least can be useful for an organic 'detox' for a short and medium period of time. From then on, only a 'personalized' prescription, and individualized, can be applied; since not all 'organisms' will react positively to this 'combination' or other, prescribed by 'health professionals'. Sometimes the progressive decrease of benzodiazepines, associated with some CNS stimulant, is the amphetamine derivatives, or other sources, may be required to reactivate the balance of GABA 'gamma amino butyric acid', although for a relatively short period at least, since they are visibly affected, after a 'chemical interference' , which acts directly on the GABA system, in this case benzodiazepines. Other measures such as 'changing habits', among others, may also be useful. It should be taken into account that, in any case, weaning of clonazepam, or the like, will entail 'long nights' of insomnia, with or without the use of stimulants, such as amphetamines, caffeine, guarana powder, ginseng, among others. Temporary use of the substance Levomepromazine, Thioridazine, among 'other neuroleptics' of sedative effects, at low dosages, as 'sleep inducers', should not be totally discarded.

Hi Sarah, I hope you are feeling well today. I felt I had to talk to you you seem to be my comfort. I was so sick again last night. The doctor after wanting me on Xanax decided he wanted me back on Klonopin. It was like a sugar pill. My dose is 1mg but through the night I even took a second one trying to get relief. Nothing. It was the 1mg blue that I had of Sandoz. It was like a sugar pill. I was hurting also so I took a little pinch off of the norco and I don't know which of the two it was but it set my mouth on fire. The only relief I have had is when I was put on the Xanax and pain management gave me percocet7.5. I was only having to use 2 instead of three prescribed. My body just isn't taking the Klonopin anymore or he didn't transition it right, then there's been the generic problem. I don't remember what you said caused your teeth to hurt but both top and bottom if really painful. I am going back to him on the third and beg him not to put me back on Klonopin. For some reason he don't believe in using Valium. If they would have let me go to detox I could have been cleaned out and know what's going on. Then last night the allergist called and said I could not eat any bread, oatmeal and more. She said only cornbread and grits. Well thanks for listening its 8:40 hear so I will lay down a few more minutes. God Bless Be Safe

@5THINGSONTHEINTERNETJOHNMILTON --when I was on OxyContin it mess my tummy up but good! I had horrible, loud gas! All day! Every day! Since I am not doctor and cannot give medical advice I will just give LifeStyle Advice: I found that tucking it in your gumline between gums and face, worked better for pain and tummy. If you can forget it's there all the better but after about an hour I would just roll it around in my mouth like a tic tac, WITHOUT biting or swallowing it... If you take it out of your mouth you will see a clear gummy gel ball with white lines or speckles throughout it. That is the medicine... After about three hours you can lightly apply pressure to it with teeth while nudging it back into gumline OR keep it under your tongue... The trick is to get it to be absorbed into bloodline and bypass stomach. After about four or five hours, if you take it out and look at it again, if it's clear without and trace OR TASTE of medicine, just throw the gel ball into trash! You will still get pain relief because it's still being absorbed by traces left inside mouth.. Mainly while you do it try not to swallow but let it get absorbed under tongue or gumline.... After I did that all my tummy problems stopped! That gel ball doesn't get absorbed but just trashes the GI tract, tummy and ta da bowels! I told my doc I was doing that and she shrieked," it's spose to be in stomach"! I said it messes stomach up and in mouth it still takes hours to dissolve, so what's the big deal? She really got mad when I told her I told all her patients in waiting room to do this.. LOL Try it and see how that goes.....

Quebrar 1 comprimido de Nitrazepam de 5 mg,em 4 partes, (guardar as 3 partes restantes) em um frasco separado, e tomar 1 parte (triangular 1.25 mg), junto com 80 mg de Propanolol, desde que não tenha problemas Cardiológicos, ou 'pressão baixa', para mim, foi muito bom para a 'crise de abstinência' de benzodiazepínicos. Permanecer deitado por pelo menos 1 hora; pois induz à sonolência, e o Propanolol é um excelente relaxante, para os efeitos físicos da abstinência, como calafrios, frio na barriga, apreensão, tensão,etc. Um 'Santo remédio'.

Break 1 tablet of 5 mg Nitrazepam in 4 parts (keep the remaining 3 parts) in a separate bottle, and take 1 part (triangular 1.25 mg) together with 80 mg of Propanolol provided you do not have cardiac problems, or 'low pressure', to me, was very good for the 'abstinence crisis' of benzodiazepines. Remain lying down for at least 1 hour; because it induces drowsiness, and Propanolol is an excellent relaxant, for the physical effects of abstinence, such as chills, cold in the belly, seizure, tension, etc. A 'holy remedy'.

Dear Jacqueline, I'm so sorry that you are suffering so much. Right now I'm at my mom's. It may be the Teva clonazepam that's burning your mouth it was horrible for me too. Hopefully the Sandoz 1mg clonazepam is still good. I thought that Xanax wasn't as long acting as clonazepam. I personally hate valium, I had a horrible reaction to it. I only took it three days and it made me feel totally spaced out ended up in the emergency room. In a way it's good that the allergist discovered which foods are affecting you. Maybe avoiding them will help. I need to avoid lots of foods too due to a delicate stomach. Omg it's so sad all that you are going through. Yes,the doctor needs to transition you from one to the other. God Bless you sending you angels for you to feel better. God Bless you Jacqueline

Sarah, the sad part is I am using my old Sandoz 1mg, which in the past was good but my body is not responding to it at all. The Teva isn't either. When he put me back on the Xanax between that and the percocet that's the first time I had lasting relief from my burning mouth that lasted more than a couple of days. I called back and upped my appt to Monday. I also have a call in to COPE that's at Our Lady of Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge. Receptionist said they have 5-7 day detox. Will see what she says or if they'll accept me. I just know something has to be done to get me straight. Sorry to bother you. I wish you, your mom and sister are all doing good. Thanks for letting me unload on you. God Bless

Dear Jacqueline, I will always be here for you. It's really a complicated situation with all the meds that you are taking. You are probably withdrawing from some and getting side effects from others.
Oh Lord, I pray that you can find someone to help you. Believe me I understand. I'm dealing with one med and having so many problems with it, my heart and prayers go out for you. There needs to be a way for you to transition from one med to another. Only some one who has experienced it can understand you. That's why I do. You are always in my prayers. I hope that your eyes are feeling better. May God be with you and give you the strength you need to get through this.

Good morning Jacqueline, I know that it must be very hard what you are going through. You said, that the 1 mg of the Sandoz clonazepam isn't working. Try giving it a day or so until your body adjust to it again. And try to take as little of the xanax as possible, hopefully your body will adjust to it. I'm saying this because today I'm going to my friends daughter's one year old b'day party and last night I took one half of the the old good 0.5mg Sandoz clonazepam and I felt a bit weird, but this morning I took another half and it's working fine. My body probably had too much of the Qualitest brand in it. The Qualitest brand still isn't working well for me. I'm glad that you were able to up your doctor's appt. and I hope and pray that Our Lady of Lake has some type of program to help you. I hope that the eye drops are helping you. Maybe if you make notes of each med you take and write down the effects you may be able to determine which one is causing the eye problem or any other symptoms that you get from them. I did that for a while to figure out which pills worked better. I'm not sure if my advice will help you but I'm trying to help you the best way I can think of. Hoping today will be a better day for you. May God grant you good health and peace. Please keep me updated.

Sarah, please don't think I am a drug addict. I am in horrible pain in my back, mouth and severe headaches every day. Yet I have only been taking 2 of the pain pills a day and even though the anxiety and depression has been very bad I have only taken 2 of the Xanax a day. I have had nerves burnt, I get botox for headaches, knee replaced, 2 back surgeries plus Fibromyalgia , Steroid injections and I still try and get by with two 7.5 pain pills. I don't like taking the pills but I can't just lay in bed. I have suffered weeks at a time from withdrawals from antidepressants I can't take. Now another failure with Sandoz adderall not working for me. But thanks for your concern. God Bless glad you feel better.

Jacqueline, I'm really sorry if I gave you the impression that I thought you were a drug addict. I understand that you need to take the medicines for pain and anxiety and it really worries me that you can find the right medications. The reason I was thinking it was a good idea to lower the xanax was because I was concerned that you told me that your doctor didn't want you to take them anymore. No harm meant, just concern. It's just that I rack my brain out trying to think of ways to help you, just like I rack my brain out figuring what to do for myself sometimes. I guess my ideas aren't the best, sorry. God Bless you.
