Ok well im new here and i decided to ask this question because after spending numerous hours searching through every post and thread i still could not find my answer...

what would be the correct dosage of klonopin with NO tolerance at all, to any benzo's

also what are the effects of them....
 
Well, what are you aiming for in your experience? Are you self-medicating or trying to get high?

If you're trying to quell some anxiety I'd say start with 1-2mg. If you're trying to get some sleep go with 2mg. If you wanna get sloshed out on benzo's go for 4mg.

Klonopin has a relatively long half-life so if you're taking them later at night be prepared to be 'fuzzy' in the morning.

Effects:
Sedation
Sleepiness
Lack of anxiety
Memory Loss
Smooth muscle relaxtion
Ect...
 
Your man concern will be explaining to other people how you ended up doing a bunch of dumb shit you don't remember doing, and then them explaining to you why you're their cellmate. :)
 
Shit everyone is different but 1mg for me is plenty and I'm 5'9'', 150lb. Just consider that it takes just a little while longer than xanax to kick in.

Just yesterday I had .5mg of klonpin and 25mg of promethazine and it knocked me on my ass even tho it was a combo. I suggest dose low (below 2mg definately) unless you don't mind blacking out and doing stupid shit.
 
The dumb shit really only happens before the 4mg range i find.

Most dumb shit happens from motivation from other people. so just don't hang around a very live crowd, or you will embarrass yourself.
 
I have the generic Klonopin and I was wonderin' if these statements go for that too because I myself have never done it and im lookin' to get a nice dose of super relaxation, ya know!???
 
0.5mg is ideal to start at, IMO, taking another 0.5 if it is felt necessary. Clonazepam is a strange drug to try and recommend a dose for because if it is taken in an appropriate dose, the effects are generally pretty subtle.
 
start with 1 or 2 mgs make sure u MELT UNDER YOUR TOUNG and dont smoke an hour before u take em cuz it closes the blood vessels under ur tounge
 
^I can't believe that thread is still open! It isn't conservative at all, which is how you want to approach a drug the first time you use it. 2-3mg clonazepam is not the ideal place to start, and neither is 2mg alprazolam. 8mg hydromorphone snorted or 4mg IV for little or no tolerance?! This is a harm reduction site and these doses listed are harm promotion...
 
^I would have to kindly disagree with you BW, I would have to say it is not harm promotion in anyway, but rather harm reduction in the sense that people use drugs recreationally, and if they are going to do so why not give them a rather accurate dosage, along with discussion about said dosages to inform them of what levels of said drug provide the effects most often sought after without consuming a dangerous amount.

0.5mg is hardly a decent theraputic dosage IMO, much less a recreational one. To me giving an honest and hefty, yet safe dosage is better as a first timer user may well be prone to finding out that they just wasted their time, money, and drug by taking such a low dose, and could subsequently dramatically increase their dosage in order to achieve the wanted effects.

Just my thoughts and opinions though, knowledge is power and providing a newbie with more information from different sources and mindsets gives a much more accurate look at what the answer might truly be to the poster...most likely somewhere in between.

We can disagree on the amount of clonazepam to take because, as I mentioned, it is a tricky drug to recommend. I am particularly bothered by the recommendations like 4mg IV hydromorphone for a first time user. You're not going to convince me that this is appropriate. You're entitled to your opinion, but this is a harm reduction site, and that is not harm reduction. Neither is recommending first time benzo users to start at 3mg clonazepam, but everyone's opinion of recreation with benzos differs. I do hold, though, that you shouldn't recommend people to start at that level because that will be too much for many people.
 
Thanks everyone for your input I just need a new way to get into that super relaxation mode once in a while because I just got out of rehab for mary jane and I'm just seeing what else is out there. Much appreciated.
 
OT: Thanks BollWeevil :). I edited some of those dosages, particularly opiates as they had no rhyme or reason about them i.e. dosages didn't match up at all using a converter.
 
I would agree as well with going with more conservative dosing. The effects of substances, in this case clonazepam vary from person to person.
Personally I would recommend starting with .5mg and going from there.
I used to have a relatively large benzo tolerance, but after a long period of time of not using them my tolerance would be at baseline.
I can get effects from .5mg, that I would deem recreational.
.25mg for me would be noticeable in terms of anxiety reduction if it was used for that purpose.
OT: Not sure if this is really the thread for this but seeing as it has been a discussed I'd like to state this, regarding the thread mentioned earlier.
Being that this site is about harm reduction, I also support the idea of advocating lower starting dosages as with people having different body chemistry and resulting effects.
It would be wiser to consider the safety of those who might experience effects on the stronger side.
As the old adage you can always take more but you can't less once you've taken it applies.
Perhaps if giving the dosages in a range, including a lower dose in the range would be a step in the right direction, but I don't believe this is the place to start a debate.
I just wanted to mention it as some of the doses in the guide seemed somewhat high still even after editing IMHO.
Regardless I appreciate the effort of all involved trying to help anyways. So thanks for your efforts. :)
And to a quick question to Bob, what converter or converters are you using? Or are you using a chart? The ones linked in this thread The Ultimate Opiate Conversion Chart/Ratio Thread, and in the OD directory seem to give widely varying, and on some counts seemingly inaccurate results.
Seeing as it's an off-topic question shoot me a PM if you wish. Thank you much.
