I take a regular twice daily dose if klonopin. It fixes all my anxiety. About two times I've taken a big dose of it and find myself not high just a bit sleepy. Basically, the smaller dose affects me more than the recreational dose I tried. Is this odd. Today my boss who knows I take the meds said he could tell in my voice I had taken it. He takes it too. Why do I slur and feel better off a low dose than a high dose?
 
Your too high, so your just sedated and want to sleep, instead of being awake and talkative. I know your not using them recreationally but for swim, a lower dose is more recreational for the same reason. Some people just like being put in a stopper
 
I wouldn't call a large dose a "recreational dose". I also find smaller doses to be pleasant and rid me of anxiety, while too large of a dose will just make me want to sleep. A large dose still relieves anxiety, but its a waste because I just want to sleep. With benzos its all about that happy medium where it does what it is suppose to (rid anxiety, relax you) but not make you too tired to do things.
 
That's what I was saying.... Larger doses doesn't technically mean it's going to be better or more "recreational"
 
That makes sense. Then how do some people like black out on them. As in take it and do crazy shit but are still conscious and don't remember afterwards?. Instead of just getting tired.

On a side note, could swim have ruined his effectiveness of the daily dose by taking too much those couple times?
 
Different people have different reactions to drugs. Also the same people on the same dose different days have different reactions. There ls really nothing that makes a difference between blacking out and sleeping and blacking out and doing crazy stuff, with one situation you just happen to have energy.
 
Okay. So about the second part. Has swim affected the medicinal use of the klonopin by taking too much a few times or would swim have to consistently take too much at a time to ruin swim's regular dosing effectiveness.

Tolerance to benzo's does rsie at an alarming rate, but I don't think a few times is going to affect the theraputic value of your regular dose. Just try not to take high doses that often. Even one time a week could raise your tolerance pretty fast.

I don't think that is entirely accurate... Depending on the size of the dose that is being taken, you CAN get an instant tolerance to Klonopin for a few days. I've seen it happen to my idiot friends who went balls to the wall with the shit and then bitched for the next week about their constant panic attack and then had to listen to their begging at the end of the month when they realize they ran out. Klonopin is more insidious than Xanax IMO because of the perception that people have on it that they're not fucked up versus Xanax and Valium where you know you are.
 
No it's not odd, most people just assume "oh! I'll take four xanax bars and get fucked up yo!"

But benzodiazepines are truly best used at the lowest effective dose.
 
Stay at low doses If theyrr fun for u. The last thing u wanna do is fuck up ur tolerence. I prefer smaller doses of benzos like 1-1.5mg of xanax. Thats the sweet spot for me.
 
Could I ruin my tolerance just by taking a lot one single time. Like day 7mg over one day.
 
I find that I have a sweet spot with benzos and it's not a mammoth dose to black out and make HUGE fucking mistakes on. It's a loose, relaxing, and subtle euphoria.

It's all about finding the right dose for yourself; the "sweet spot".
