Hello. I've been reading some threads about dosing with benzodiazepines. Most people say that 1mg of Klonopin (clonazepam) will knock them off their butt. I take 2 mg every day and I have no idea what it feels like to be knocked off your butt by benzos because I never took more than I was supposed to. I've been taking klonopin for myoclonus and anxiety for about 5 years. I went from .5mg twice daily to 1mg twice daily. It works for myoclonus but my anxiety is no longer controlled by it. There are nights I wish I could feel the anxiolytic effects of this medication but the only time I feel "relief" hit me is when I'm crying my eyes out and panicking (hardly ever happens anymore) but now they're like pez. I just want to relax, and it's something I haven't been able to do in so long. I finally tried taking 4mg at once and I chewed them (you can do that, my doc told me) and I felt kinda funny and like I'm floating for a minute but nothing seriously relaxing. What should I do? I find narcotics to be extremely helpful in getting me "high" I guess when I'm low. I think I'm asking basically how can I get high off my Klonopin for like 1 night, what's the dose and is it even possible? I hate narcotics, they give me migraines and constipation. Yikes. Thanks.
 
You should keep taking your pills as directed instead of thinking how you can get high once on all your Klonopin then have none until the next script. Benzo W/D sucks.

If you want to get high smoke weed or find something else. It's foolish to risk benzo withdrawal.
 
Thanks

You're the little voice inside my head telling me the truth. Thanks. :)
 
OP, please do not f**k with your benzo dosage. You really are playing w/fire by increasing dosage. You have been relatively stable for the last 5 years. playing with dosage now is asking for trouble, IMHO. Smoke some indica weed to get a little extra kick out of your dose.
