Hi would love some help

[razordesignz]

So I currently am prescribed 30mg brand name ir adderall twice a day. And 0.5 kolonopin twice a day. I also take 5mg percs for back pain. I generally only take 7.5-15mg a day of the adderall. And both kolonopin. I'm curious if I may get some advice on how might be best to structure this daily. For example, 7.5 adderall when I wake up, wait an hour then pop 0.5kolonopin. Then do the same process half way threw my day. Or is taking 7.5 or 15mg of adderall together when I wake up and 0.5kolonopin later? Or possibly better results from waiting an hour after waking up to take any pill. Again I know we are all different, just curious if anyone has similar past learning experience. Thanks in advance

Don't take kolpnopin with adderal, you wi dampen the effects of adderal and not be relaxed either.

If you got to take all , then I would recommend spreading the doses during the day in a way such that you are not taking any two together.

Are you prescribed Adderall and Klonopin sounds counterproductive.

 

[razordesignz]

Yes. I need the adderall for focus because of school and work. But I have awful anxiety. Have had 3 false alarm er visits from anxiety attacks. I have an extensive script history over the past 12 years. SSRIS are awful with me. Iv used xanax valium ativan and kolonopin. None of them last long enough except kpins. For add iv done dexedrine Strattera twice Concerta adderall xr and now adderall ir. I also used welbutrin for both needs for 6 months. I need help with motivation and focus but struggle often with general anxiety disorder.

 

[Anamo7tram]

Well, you could try phenibut or ask for gabapentin, but honostly , taking any other drugs with adderal will be counterproductive to studying.

This is not exactly right. Taking a benzo together with amphetamine will abolish some of the stimulation, yes, but by far not all of the effects. The real concern is, unfortunately, that BZDs are very addictive and will exacerbate the anxiety over time if used too much.

Gabapentin or Pregabalin are at least less serious in this regard. You'll have to try if they work for you.

If you're open to RC drugs, you could give isopropylphenidate a try. In my eyes it is far superior to any amphetamine or methylphenidate (and it's based off a patent for novel ADHD treatments, so it's somewhat studied already.)
Or the nootropic Bromantane - a stimulant that is also an anxiolytic.

 

[Anamo7tram]

Sure, dopa, but people can barely remember what they studied on adderal, add a benzo and you might ass well not bother.

My advice: Take the 0.5 mg Klonopin about 45 minutes to an hour BEFORE dosing the Adderall, in the morning. In the afternoon, take the Adderall a bit earlier than usual, then wait until you want to just relax for the evening/night to take the other 0.5 mg of Klonopin. You see, taking a benzodiazepine after dosing your morning amphetamine is going to dull out the amphetamine's effect a bit more. However, if you start with the Klonopin having kicked in, you are at a sort of a baseline, and the Adderall will take you up. I hope this makes some sense; I have a ton of personal experience with it, and I don't say things I don't know to have some truth. I am not saying it will be a night and day change, but you will probably realize you are more productive if you follow this schedule after a few days. No harm in trying it. Hell, set the alarm an hour before you wake up, take the Klonopin, go back to sleep for an hour, wake up again and pop you Adderall. That might be easier than sitting and waiting for the Klonopin to have sufficiently kicked in without the productivity the Adderall gives you.

I can't decide if your a genius or an idiot.

I agree with Alex, that sounds more efficient than what razor was doing. I'm not very good on giving advise on how to use drugs properly because I abused EVERYTHING. But it makes sense to take the BZD first and than take the adderall... If you want more effects from the Addy than the kpin.

 

[bdomihizayka]

In my experience (I am prescribed 1mg klonopin 2xs day and 20mg adderall 2xs day) the klonopin has such a long half life that it doesnt even matter which you take first.

For example, I can not take my klonopin for 2 days, take my adderall, and the effects of the adderall are STILL diminished by the remaining remnants of the benzo in my system, and all I get is a weak adderall buzz without any "fun" side-effects at all.

 

[razordesignz]

Ya kpin first then addy a lil later is smoother I agree. And 30mg ir's are nice because I can dose by 7.5 how I feel thx for the advice. I'm going to psych tuesday I'm going to try and add gabapentin because I took it years back just for abuse and I feel it may mix well to smooth out the addy aswell
