Klonopin Safety
UpdatedHow safe is taking klonopin with 70mgs of methadone? I have 4 anxiety disorders, high bp and spinal stenosis with sciatica etc. Finally got help for pain at methadone clinic. I did not know what else to do. My klonopin is 2mgs 3 times a day but only taking 2 a day and all seems well. Also taking seraquel at night 50mgs for sleep. So is this safe? I can't beleive I had to go this way for pain help but seems to be helping.

It's a potentially dangerous mixture. Although it may not be harmful to those with an opioid and benzo tolerance this combination could cause too much CNS depression leading to respiratory failure.
I'd say to just be VERY careful. I had a friend who, with very little opioid tolerance, went to sleep after taking methadone with valium and never woke up.
I'm coming off of suboxone 8mgs a day for 5 years. And the seraquel and klonopin been on those for 4 yrs. Ty for your reply. I was concerned so thats why I've been tapering off.

Did suboxyne help you with Pain? I’m also on a lot, I get scared! But have a high tolerance! Also have severe chronic pain:(. I’m going to see a holistic doctor. And also trying other natural methods.

Suboxone didn't help w my pain.Been at this for 30 years and most Drs don't care in Florida. I'm on disability and medicaid so there is most of the problem. I have a great shrink but need a good PC and pain management.

Why won't your doctor refer you to pain management? If PC won't treat you, demand that he/she sends you to a doctor that will. Tell them either you help me or I will help myself.
