SWIM has been having anxiety all day, which is unusual. There is a bottle of clonazepam SWIM has access to, in 1mg tablets. They are not prescribed to this person. Should this person be worried about potential allergies or unwanted affects.

If the person taking this drug does have an allergic reaction, would benadryl be able to fight it off until it subsided? Say,a reaction from .5mg

I've never heard of someone having an allergic reaction to clonazepam. By the way no need to use SWIM here, Just say "i".

I'd take two or three 1mg tablets with no tolerance and just chill and see how you feel. Done drive on it.
 
1-3mg is is WAY TOO MUCH klonopin for a first time user. Rememner klonopin is just as potent as Xanax by MG, thats like telling him to take 1-3mg of xanax. start off with a 0.5mg (half pill) u should feel a slight buzz. but i reccommend ONE pill (1mg) you should feel pretty goofy for awhie. its a long acting and slow acring benzo so be patient and dont redose
 
Don't use "SWIM", as it's against forum rules and doesn't protect you from prosecution. If you have no tolerance to benzos then 2mg should be a good starting dose. You're unlikely to have a reaction that would require an antihistamine.

Alright indeed after re-reading the OP, if you're a first time user and just trying to relieve anxiety, 0.5-1.0mg is all you need, trust me. But if you're asking for a recreational dose, most places recommend 1-3mg or 2-4mg for Xanax/klonopin. It all depends on the person, natural tolerance, weight, etc. I personally couldn't get screwy on 0.5mg with no tolerance, the first time, it took me like 2mg, but I'd recommend 1mg or less.
 
I took 1 mg my first time as prescribed by my doctor and ended up dozing off at work for a minutes.

One may get accustomed to them over time, but first several times can hit pretty hard.

Indeed, a prescription to klonopin is something you have to get used to for a lot of people. When I was put on 1mg twice a day, I was falling asleep in class at college and just drowsy a lot, but it goes away. Always goes away. The second time around, my new doc has me on 0.5mg tabs 3x a day and that's nice and all, but I'm past the point of being used to the side effects. After 18 months on this dose I'm ready to move up to 3mg/day. I think the 2mg clonazepam tabs are pretty intense, they cause amnesia and are a little too much. A Xanax 2mg is equivalent, but the 2mg clonazepam will last SO long that it can just put you out for a while or black out. I did on a single 2mg once.

Yeah I was taking klonopin for insomnia. For some reason my first doc had me taking them during the day, maybe to combat generalized anxiety. They were working well at first. But eventually I started having trouble staying asleep again. So I bounced docs, he switched me to temazepam and got me into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The CBT was hard at first but eventually it became effective enough to allow me to reduce my doses and stop taking benzos. I don't follow the stuff to a T, but doing the basics has helped me a lot.

So anyways, to the OP and everyone else. If you're having anxiety issues, ask your doc about CBT or just read up on it yourself. It may help you out without depending on benzos. It's not 100%, but is certainly worth a look.
 
I used to be prescribed 2 mg/ 2x a day of Clonazepam. I first started off at 1 mg/ 2x a day..I never fell asleep or forgot what I did all day. So a good first time dose...IMO, is 1.5-2 mg.

Don't drive, or drink on it your first time though.
 
For a first time user who is just trying to relieve anxiety, 1mg should be a good dose.
 
Give me a break. It's not typical but you're feeling anxiety today. You sure know the plan of action on your feet.. 8)

Oh yeah. In the spirit of discharging responsibilities, it's illegal to use prescription medications that have not been prescribed to you.
 
^idk why I said that u guys and your low recommendations lol for recreational use deff 2-3 for your first time or you'll prolly e disapointed
 
OP is talking about treating anxiety w/o "unwanted effects" not recreational use.

1.5 mg would put me to sleep and I was on benzos for a year or so for insomnia and periodically take them for fun.

What's the rush? Starting low and working your way up slowly is the way to go imo.
 
im a chronic daily klonopin user, as prescribed. i personally feel it saturates all your receptors to the point where taking xanax is ineffective or any other benzo, i can take 4-8mg of xanax and not feel shit, yet take 2-6mg klonopin and feel it? i feel like klonopin acts like methadone does for opiates..idk with its long half life. u wont notice relief taking it daily, or its effects. it may prevent u from aving anxiety attacks and panic, but i think with benzos u can only feel the benefit when taken as needed
 
I'm currently prescribed klonopin that I lucky don't abuse, however 1mg with no tolerance I think is completely fine. I have tried all benzos, and before I was put on them for daily use I found that Clonazepam was my least favorite benzo in the anxiety reducing aspect. For some reason I really didn't get so much of a MAJOR relief as I did from Xanax, nor did I really like the feeling from klonopin but that's off point your saying you feel very anxious and yes one 1mg will help a lot, and shouldn't produce problems for someone with allergies.

The first time I took klonopin I took 4mg, although that's considered a very high dose (and not recommended) for a non tolerant user, I really never seemed to enjoy it for the occassional anxiety relieving affect. However I have a history with taking huge doses of benzos with no tolerance without every blacking out etc unless I mix something. However most people are not like that, and you may experience some amnesia (memory problems) but other than that, I can't really think of any "dangers" or anything else.
 
Man, I remember my first klonopin....I was stuck at this dudes apartment and forgot which door was his. Luckily he worked next store at a telemarketing place so I was all messed up and he took me back.....Oh I had anxiety because i was obsessing that I had cancer or something and it just melted it away. Man, I wish klonopin would always do that but, I guess you have to be in a lot of pain anxiety wise in order to feel those effects.
 
I have to steer clear of Klonopin. For some reason when I take the drug, it makes me more angry and agitated than helps relieve anxiety. Not to mention those days when I would just eat a handful of them and think I was fine when in reality I was slurring and acting like a moron. For some reason, Xanax and Valium help my anxiety a lot more than Klonopin.

I would start out with 1mg and if that doesn't do the job, take another 1mg.
