I've found 3mgs is really the only amount that gives me some level of peace... is it safe to take this amount 3x times a day?

Also should I take it subliungally (sp?) or just swallow it?

Also I'm eager to try this with some 100% indica weed... anyone have experience with that?
 
I was scripted 6mgs Clonaz a day in 2003-2004. It ruined my life. good luck.
 
you'll have complete anxiolysis and the other benefits for quite a while. it'll be great. eventually tolerance can get to the point where it's mostly placebo though, and you'd be stuck on it
 
Dosing and combination questions are better suited for BDD.

I will warn you that coming off 9mg klonopin/day will be a *bitch*. That will be some serious withdrawal if you use that daily and as above poster said, can really fuck you up long term. I certainly wouldn't fuck with that.

Would another drug be more suitable? Benzos have been the only thing that had any effect on me whatseover. Which is why *gasp* I like them :)

I tried the whole suite of SSRIs to no avail, as well as other things like Abilify.

Care to go into more detail man>? thanks

My life is pretty much shit as it is so I just want to feel at peace you know? (and don't give me the whole exercise, yoga blablabla bullshit), I was on my college rugby team and worked out/cardio like a maniac when I pretty much went batshit from the anxiety and moved back in with my parents.
 
^Ok dude, fair enought^

0.5 Clonaz=10mgs Valium, or 1mg Clonaz=10mgs Valium (depending on what benzo chart you read)

It made me depressed, dribble, and the dose i was given was horendous. It is excellent for SEVER anxiety, but watch for that going away and depression taking over.

Good luck man:)
 
Thanks for the words of wisdom my man :)

Well for me I do have both anxiety and depression but the anxiety is far far far more severe than the depression in my mind. The way I see it, if the anxiety is gone, I will start talking to people again, working out again, chatting up with cute girlies again, and that in turn will get rid of the depression.

its a classic vicious circle that needs breaking.

i havent found a way of breaking mine.

good luck. ;)
 
I typically take 3mgs if I want a nice peaceful session. Most of the time however I mix it with oc, gives the best nods.

For how long would your servitude be? If you're going to be taking 9mg/daily for an extended 2-3+ months or indefinite time frame you are probably going to get wrecked like you never thought possible. If you're just taking that much to party for a few days then no problem.
 
yeah i'd look into other drugs that could give a sense of peace. i assume you tried ssri/snri for a one and a half months to give it a chance to work. if it didn't, i guess there's lyrica but if you need that much kpin i don't know how much it'd help and i know benzo side effects are usually more benign. once tolerance really sets in, though, paradoxical effects shine through (like extra anxiety)

some people just need something that slows down the head. but you should probably try combining therapy with the kpin and using a lower dose so that it's more sustainable (dose) and you don't need as high dose (therapy could help with that)
 
9mg daily may keep you really out of it every day, stumbling around and slurring, drooling. Possibly blacking out, coming it and out of reality.

If you have tolerance than you may just feel really relaxed, kind of sedated not wanting to do anything.

Smoking weed with benzos is great. Do that.
 
I would recommend that you take it easy and try to fix your life issues without resorting to benzos. If so, try not to every day. Benzo withdrawal is very, very miserable. Good luck, either way.

Yeah I'm on an SSRI called Lexapro, it has honestly given me more lasting and quality peace than I ever imagined possible. More then Benzo's could do. Because the Benzo buzz wears off after a very short time and then you find yourself gobbling handfuls of them and all you get is kinda drowsy, and no longer real relief from anxiety, then finally you try to quit them and you're owned. I'm off mine now but I have a buddy who takes 3mg kpin every day for no reason at all other then stopping the withdrawal from coming on. That's not the long term way to go.

I was taking up to 10mg daily for years just to keep from going into withdrawals. I've been tapering for over a year and down to 1mg as of right now. I'm going down 0.25mg every month and each time I go down a dose I still experience withdrawals.

The two types of people who become addicted to benzodiazepines are those who take it daily for anxiety or those who binge on massive doses...sort of like taking doses in excess of 9mg Clonazepam for days.

I would do anywhere from 45-60mg xanax daily, for as long as i could, sometimes lasting a month or two at a time. Then go into the worst w/d for a couple weeks, then the supply would be back....and so forth...for years. I never would have stopped on my own. 2-4 year state sentence straightened me out. I'd never take a benzo again if i had the will power. Even after months (10+) I still need 8-10mg to even feel something. that's depressing, only being able to take your fav. drug once a year?
