Don't get bent, mods, I've used the search engine, hell, that's all I do on here. But I'd like a straight answer to this question once and for all> Does white grapefruit juice potentiate Klonopin or not? Yes or no? I've done it before but only remember a slight difference years ago.
And if it does, could I cut my dose in half? Thanks in advance.

For the record, I can't afford tagment or hydroxyzine or anything else right now besides juice, so that's all out of the question.
 
Not as well as for Xanax, certainly, but yes, it does "potentiate" clonazepam. I wouldn't cut it in half, that's wishfull thinking. Try 70-75 percent your normal dose, after a lot of white grapefruit juice roughly forty to thirty minutes before using the k-pins. Have fun playing around with your liver enzymes. ;)
 
Oh, and this is important, it doesn't work the same for everyone. We all have different liver systems, and some are more or less affected by grapefruit's enzyme inhibiton. So for some it might work wonderfully, while others might find so little benefit as to consider it not worth drinking the rather bitter juice. It works very well for me, so I'm one of the lucky ones. Hopefully you'll find this too.

But remember, get that juice in well before the k-pins. Like have it all drank by 30-60 mins before dosage.

I swear I'm not stalking you. :P

No no, I appreciate the good info. It's all appreciated man. I just want some other responses, not invalidating your own, just want other experiences.
