I have a question. I take 3mgs of klonopin a day but I an wondering how much should I take to just knock my ass out. I just want to sleep for a while. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is don't use lots of benzos to knock yourself out. You'll probably end up feeling like absolute shit the next day.
But if you're determined to, try like 6mg. You can always redose a bit if that's not enough.
It is - and its lovely and minty as well :D
clonaz. Shame it's so rare over here. Acquired a few a while back and half a 2mg tab (or even a quarter for that matter) had me feeling very pleasant for quite some time (with low benzo tolerance). I found it very much an anxiolytic rather than hypnotic. I wouldn't use it to sleep.I found it very much an anxiolytic rather than hypnotic. I wouldn't use it to sleep.
6 mg of Clonazepam no that is not harm reduction .
FFS Clonazepam is 0.5 = 10mg diazepam so that would be 240mg of diazepam equivalent . or even better 480mg temazepam.
Folk got to realise that this Clonazepam is strong benzo . That's why it comes in 0.5mg tabs .
If (s)he takes 3mg daily and wants to be knocked out, I really don't think 6mg is such a stretch...especially since literally nothing dangerous can come out of that. If it's not mixed with other CNS depressants obviously, but that's a given when dealing with benzos.
Lots of great sleep meds you can get OTC, like melatonin. As a general rule, when benzos can be avoided I think it's usually best to choose the other option.
My bad then, didn't mean to suggest anything dangerous.
This wasn't personal it was plain common sense .
6mg of Clonazepam is a fukin big stretch . I have been getting rx benzo's for nearly 20 years & have had major issues with them as well as seeing friends end up dead because of taking big doses .
Granted it might not have been the benzo's that killed them but the decisions they made because they were under the influence of benzo's lead directly to their Death .
This is not personal but folk have to take notice that these drugs are fukin dangerous & highly addictive .
my bad on the maths but still 120mg is huge amounts
In fact i was actually prescribed that amount & it has taken the best part of 12 years to get down to 30mg
That's more like it Pagey![]()
Wasn't saying that it was necessarily dangerous as such so much as excessive. Assuming a decent tolerance it's pretty unlikely clonaz is gonna be much use for sleep at all. Didn't make me drowsy even with essentially zero tolerance.
I know it wasn't personal, I just genuinely didn't think it was that huge a dose to suggest considering the circumstances. As I said, it's what I would have taken were I in his place. I was of course obviously assuming that he wouldn't be going out or try to do anything on such a dose but would just be in bed, which makes it difficult to make any dangerous decisions - and in itself we all know 6mg clonazepam wouldn't hurt him at all.
I never meant to suggest benzos aren't dangerous and I don't think I did in my post...I'm the first person to agree that those things can be both very addictive and very dangerous, having dealt with a massive alprazolam addiciton last year, but I simply answered his question with what I judged to be the best answer. Again, apologies if I gave unsafe advice.
Well yeah that's why I suggested so much - clonaz isn't great for sleep so if you wanna be knocked out with a tolerance at 3mg a day, as I said, I don't think 6mg is such a stretch. Would obviously not have suggested such a jump if we were talking about alprazolam or temazepam, for instance.
