Klonopin And Suboxone (Page 7) (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?

REPORT

Started back up on Klonipin which I def don't abuse. Someone like me that has severe nightmares and P.T.S.D. anxiety comes with that. My pcp wrote also had one relapse before all this. My pcp is an ethical one. Not just a writer and has known that I only used zanax due to when I really wanted to get a high mixed with alcholol. My husband is an addiction counsler whom had relasped with me. We where knocking the na program We stopped doing our own internal work. He had strep throat and had to take a week off before a week he had off the next few days due to evaluations for his heart. He o.d.ed. I gave him CPR as 911 plus we have a security botton. Or should say buttons to push. He came too but unaware. One bag. I got clean 3 days before him and decided I did not want that life. It internally crushed my spirit and soul. I went right to an aa mtg. I choose aa because it's more ethical for me and my sponsor, cyf had to come because we have beautiful children whom I told my husband if we are getting high we aren't keeping them here. It did not last long. I got us early intervention to come to the house. Cyf had to check of course. Everything ended up fine. She seen what had been going on. She easy here for 3 hrs. She clearly could see anxiety due to PTSD. I tould her I take zoloft but it is not helping the flashbacks. I was worried about everyone in the home. PTSD women are great mom's she said. I had showed her all meds. One was from last year and one month expired. She said take it Colleen. She said take half of one to help me knowing I am on Subs but I told her your not a doc but claims to had to take hours of diagnostics and also I told her that I'm in therapy by choice more than needed to be on suboxone. I am getting a referral to see my shrink. I would abuse xanax from other ppl for the sake of the two joined together when 210mg. No lie f***ing discovery house but what I need is to let the truth out. I don't feel any high off klonipin I feel stable and a better mom, college student. I have a seizure disorder to due to being abused terribly as a child which I hid from docs. I use to have to hide for 0k!!!- My question if any one had a similar thing going on or advice I am referring to by Doc whom is the one who wrote while he was aware of me being on Subs in the first place my insurance used him for psych sevices and certified counslers I seen there but could not afford subs. He could not take a patient on welfare insurance for subs at that time. Ethical place still there. Just someone be strait with me and try to help. Excuse my literature on here. I am on a very strong dose for an accute sinus and caught the strept. Daycare my son goes 3 days a week to help him get into a place of more independence and global understandings. I am very functional. I got him early intervention. He has improved 99.9% for his age. I keep my addiction open to a point of understanding. I want to give someone my number whom really will respond with clarity please. Good site here. Happy weekend. I let my pcp know everything important. Sorry but my sinus infection is saying take a break. So long till I hereally from someone. Thank you

This is how people die from mixing the two. If you are nodding off, you're on the verge of an overdose. You need to tell the prescribing dr. you're nodding off and have you dose adjusted to a safe level.

I totally agree. I am on 24 mg a day of suboxone and 3 klonopin a day. I feel like it is a great combination and safe. I talked to my Dr about it and he said the only time it's not safe is if you abuse it and take more than prescribed. I live it and it has helped me tremendously

I know this is a old , reply, just had to jump in, because I'm really confused , and upset with a DO doc, I have been on clonazepam 2 mg a day for over 20 years for restless legs and now stress , here a few weeks back I decided I needed to stop taking the clonazepam because of abuse I only was prescribed 30 a month , I thought the only way I could get off them was by getting on a suboxone program , the DO doc , will start by taking 8mg a day , half morning half bedtime , fine but he says NO clonazepam , the first 3 or 4 days have been like someone having all their teeth pulled with no shots, the nausea has been so bad , called doc , he give me some nausea meds , no good , was still stick another 3 days until I stop the suboxone myself , now first of all why the hell would this DA , dumb ASS not DO doc ....now ,why even try to get my off clonazepam with suboxone , he had to have known this was not a good idea, not with some only taking 60mg a month , now after reading on here about everyone taking Klonpin some more than I with out suboxone ,one here's two sides of the story , bad to take benzo with suboxone , them my Dr. prescribed me both, who here thinks my doc is off his track, I do , I'm going back on my clonazepam , may try and split the 2 mg dose down to 1mg 4 times daily that way I have it at high level all day,

Does any1 know if it's ok for me to take 2mg or Suboxone touch in the morning like at 9:30 a 1mg Klonopin at 6:30. I've heard bad things about the to I've took the Suboxone this morning and it's coming time to take the Klonopin and I'm getting scared. My question is will this stop my heart rate.

This is correct ONLY if you are taking as prescribed and are honest about EVERYTHING & how much you are taking. I do take both by prescription for severe panic disorder & major anxiety. I have to be able to be clearheaded because I am a caregiver. I have not used self medicated or taken non-prescribed drugs for 10 years by the grace of God. I tried going without any meds for i whole year, and I basically couldn't function, so i take what helps me live a normal life. I'm never drowsy, but using opiates for 20 years takes a toll on the brain. I so wish I never tried opiates!

I have been on klonopin for 11yrs and suboxone for 9. In my personal experience the combination will just make me more lethargic than if I was only on 1 of the 2. Since they both can cause drowsiness it's this synergy of the 2 medications that will cause you to be more tired and/or nod off. As long as you're taking the correct dosage rxd then you shouldn't have a problem but if you're like myself and many others who are rxd benzos take more than the usual 2 klonopins a day then you will barely be able to hold your head up. So in all if you just stick to the 2 klonopins a day then you won't have a problem. Good luck with your recovery.

i take them both. My drs keep in touch with each other and are fne with it as long as i take as perctibed. I am on a fairly low dose of klonipin but a good amount of sub. My dr monitors me very well and i am doing great. However xanax is a no no for sure.

I took a 1mg Klonopin around 9 this morning..it's almost 6 now. Am I'm gonna be okay to take my 2mg of Suboxone??? I'm nervous due to all the hype about mixing them. But figured if I take them far enough apart that it would be okay??

Hello I just found this forum, and first I wNt to say I have taken Klonopin only 1 mg a day for 20 years for my anxiety disorder. 9 years ago after a csection I became addicted to hydrocodone. Recently I have tapered down to only 1 to 2 a day and have been trying do hard. Anyway I had a friend give me some 5mg Suboxone pills. For a few days I have taken just a little of the pill maybe 1mg of it gets me through the day but after researching it im worried . I was going to go to the doctor to see if they would give me those to stop the hydrocodone addiction. But there is no way I could ever stop the Klonopin. I would rather be addicted to it than go through my monstrous panic attacks. Would these small doses be safe together 1mg Klonopin and 1 maybe 1.5 mg Suboxone? There is no way I could handle more of the Suboxone it makes me feel way to strange. I don't take anything for a high just to feel normal any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Mother (# 19)

I friend died right next to me when we passed out with a house full of ppl. He died because of the suboxone and benzo (xanax). I woke up to him leaning on me back to back. I felt him and he was warm. That was only because I was giving him body heat and i didn't even know that, so I thought he was fine, just really tired. His phone would not stop ringing. Two hours had passed. It was his mom calling by the way. Dang this hurts so bad. So I called his name out and yelled it out. Went up to him and turned him over and he was just blue. I got scared and called the cops. They showed up and pronounced him dead. So yes it will kill you, believe me when I tell you this. I was an opiate addict but could never tell I lived it and done it. So they really do kill you, them two will. Just don't over do it. You know how to take the right way. Never think you can take more than usual. Please be careful. my name is {edited for privacy}.
