At the tail of a speed binge. Question about safe dose of clonazepam.

[headphones]

Hi everyone.

I've been on a speed binge that started last thursday at night. I skipped two nights of sleep. I slept 5 hours this morning and reloaded with speed this afternoon. I'm not really sure about the content of the pills (amps, meth, etc). I'm not too proud of myself, but that's another story and please let's not get into that.

I've been taking 1mg of clonazepam everyday for a month and a half now and never abused the stuff. I don't really feel the effects, except in situations that would normally trigger high anxiety (claustrophobia, huge crowds, talking in front of 400 people, etc.). The effect might be placebo.

I didn't take any of it in the last few days. I took 0.5mg one hour ago and I don't really feel it. What do you think would be a good "recreational" dose for me right now given my tolerance? I feel the speed effects fading away, but would love to feel more relaxed, enjoy some good music, and sleep in an hour or two (or right now, maybe).

Thanks for your help!

if u take 1mg a day id think u have some what of a tolorance so id say shit i was gonan say take 2mg
since u you can handle 1mg and take it.. but being that u took .5 maybe just take 1mg more so a total of 1.5 and see how that does u ... u can always take more if u feel u need it but once u take so much u cant take it back

^This, you can titrate your dosage up to where you feel comfortable, but you shouldn't have a problem taking 1.0 or 1.5-2.0mg if you need to.

Also, this has been discussed many times, take a look at this search.

 

[jaredvillhelm2002]

Clonazepam increases and Methamphetamine decreases sedation, the effects of such an interaction are unknown but caution should be taken.

Actually, they have been researched.

Check out this PubMed article on using clonazepam to treat methamphetamine-induced psychosis.

There are many reports on both bluelight and Erowid about people using benzodiazepines to come down off methamphetamine and other potent stimulants.

Benzodiazepines are necessary for amphetamine comedowns. Greatly reduces the agitation and makes you more comfortable before you get you to sleep. If you are prescribed 0.5-1mg I would recommend you take 2-2.5mg for your comedown.

Exactly. And responsible usage of benzodiazepines for amphetamine comedowns is safe.

Since the question has been answered I'm going to close this. OP, PM me if you have any other questions.
