Klonopin And Suboxone (Page 4) (Top voted first)

I was recently prescribed suboxone and klonopin. So I was wondering if anyone out there has taken this combo and what thier feelings are on the subject?

By the way, my statement was to the person identifying himself as "Tom." I hadn't seen Ryan's response to "Tom" but three cheers to you. You're right on target about this guy...except, I think you give him too much credit, suggesting he has a doctorate of any sort.

Ryan, right on for pointing out this guy as a fraud. He's no doctor and he doesn't even play one on tv. I read so much bs on these sites. There are some well-intentioned people who are deeply fractured. Then there are more people who get off on playing doctor and that's very dangerous. And, finally, and sadly, there are even more people seeking advice (and I understand the need for validation and assurance) from people who really ought not be giving it. Many people extrapolate from their own very personal experience and then dole out advice as if their experience is universally applicable. These sites scare me to death because I think people are relying on them rather than doctors.

PEOPLE, IF YOU'RE BEING PRESCRIBED MEDICATION AND NOT JUST GETTING MEDS OFF THE STREET, ADDRESS THESE QUESTIONS TO THE PRESCRIBING PHYSICIAN!!! You're not picking out the best new tennis racquet that will heighten your tennis game. You're not choosing between Splenda and Equal and Sweet n Low. You're, hopefully, trying to make your life right. Share your stories. Continue supporting others who struggle with addictions. BUT FOR GOD SAKES STOP GIVING OUT ADVICE LIKE YOU'RE A DOCTOR AND STOP FOLLOWING ADVICE AS THOUGH IT WERE COMING FROM A DOCTOR. If you can get the pills you can get a doctor. If you don't have insurance go to a county hospital. Get help from trained professionals. I'm sorry to be mean, but just note the abundance of grammatical and typographical errors here and you'll know you're not dealing with professionals equipped with the knowledge to give such important, life-changing/saving/threatening advice. Again, many well-intentioned people are here but good intentions and good medicine are not the same thing.

This has all been pretty informative. And I'm glad to see that it isn't a bunch of people sitting around telling others the best ways to get high

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I was hoping you could help me, my boyfriend brutally attacked me and i was hopitalized. The police said he was taking his prescribed suboxone but he was also not prescribed but on klonopin and drinking that evening. I am trying to find out more about this information in combining theses together. My boyfriend was an amazing, loving man and then one night he just snapped and attacked me. It was like he wasn't himself and it was scary how he became so suddenly violent and aggressive. I just would like answers why he would be this way and completely be someone I've never seen before. please help me understand why this is a bad combination.

I'm also on sub and ready to get off. Just keep receiving your scripts from your doc and gradually taper down without ur doc knowing. Until u get Down to 1-2 mg and then .5 mg and til no more. But I'm gonna keep my scripts. Never know my insurance can cut off doc die anything. I'd like to have a fat stash of 100 8mg films for hard times

Okay, I just detoxed off of subutex 2 weeks ago, and I dont feel my precious klonopins anymore AT ALL. They dont do anything! I can take 20mg of klonopin and not feel a thing! What is wrong with my brain, someone please tell me that in time, my brain will settle and that the klonopin will work again. Im so frustrated!

Xanax r the easiest and hardest pill to start and stop. Taper off. Bad to say longterm use can take up to a yr to wean off of. Ive been on for 10 yrs but my mind isnt or nvr has gotten " hooked"" on them. Idk y. If i got them i do but if i don't thts fine. Just lil hard to sleep. It all depends on how much ur brain craves pills of any kind. Had a rough time coming offa lortabs,but xanaxs nope. Just depends on the person. All u can do is gradually cut dwn week by week,day by day

I have a severe panic disorder that I had prior to my opiate addiction. I was prescribed suboxone on top of my klonazapan. Now while some of you may have had bad interactions I have never had a issue. As far as mixing the two yes there are risks but there are serious risks when you mix any meds I don't care what they are so to say do not mix them is crazy. I have tried not taking my klonazapan and just suboxone and let me say once my panic attacks kicked in there was no way I can be off the klonazapan. Also let it be known mixing the two you say can cause death well so can panic and anxiety attacks. So to be given the ultimatum one or the other no way some of us need both we know the risk and not everyone. Has bad experiences with the two 1 year I have been on both and not a single problem so its not a certainty and its a interaction based on the person just as with any mix of meds all can have deadly side effects so whatever.

Dear Josh, I've been on suboxone and klonopin 5 almost 8 years now and it works GREAT! I'm on 3 (8mg) of suboxone and 3mg of klonopin a day. Never had any problems. Feel fine. So, don't worry or wonder.

I'll confidently debate anyone on the subject of mixing Sub with Klonopin & & even defend it more. I have been on Buprenorphine (Subutex), Klonopin, & Celexa for nearly 6 years now- all prescribed to me by the same doctor who happens to actually be a psychiatrist AND addictionologist. I started at 8mg Bupe- now down to 4mg, & my Klonopin dosage hasn't changed during this entire tenure- 2mgs . The Celexa (antidepressant) is at 40mgs & also unchanged since the getgo. I love my doctor- he is extremely educated, current with the ever-changing policies of the medical boards, & not afraid to speak his mind and give his opinion when I need assistance. Now, no matter the fact that I've been on Klonopin for 6 years at THE SAME, NEVER-CHANGING DOSE- he still advises me every visit of the cautions of taking Benzos with Sub- the heat comes from the medical boards. He has to document that he's advised me of the potential risks involved in mixing the two. However, he personally believes & yes he's in the minority of doctors, that as long as the meds are taken responsibly and as directed it is perfectly safe to combine the two. I'm pure evidence of that- I've never, in all this time, have had a problem. The warning labels, the worry, all stem from the manufacturers and them covering their own butts. Liability, etc- its no different an agenda than any corporation covering their tails. The fact is there have been very few reported deaths caused by mixing the two. And for those who have died, my heartfelt condolences go out to their families. However, it's more than likely that those unfortunate people who died probably mixed the drugs to unsafe dosages. One will not die from taking Suboxone and Klonopin in reasonable, prescribed doses. If a person choses to drink alcohol on top of these meds well you're certainly putting yourself at greater risk. I'm not trying to be insensitive to those who have lost loved ones, & I'm not a medical doctor- but I am healthy, living proof that taken within moderation, Subs and Benzos- specifically Klonopin for this thread- poses no immediate or forthcoming threat to ones health. If you feel the need to be on both and just can't get through to your physician, then it's up to you to perhaps seek out another doctor. But don't quit your current program and doctor until you've found a replacement. The doctors you're looking for ARE out there. I'm personally located in the east valley of Phoenix, AZ and would be happy to refer my doctor to anyone in this area who might be dealing with this frustrating circumstance. That's all for now, but I'd be happy to respond and pursue dialogue with anyone whether you agree or disagree with the statements I've made in this post. Take care all :-)

Hi Josh ! I know this is an older text, but, I came across it. I'm on 24mg of suboxone a day, and, I'm also on klonopin. I've had NO problems. They work GREAT together. The suboxone takes care of me physically, and, the Klonopin helps with my anxiety and panic attacks. Since it's been awhile, r u still on them ?
