Wats good ive ben think of taking kpin 3 days out of the week no more then 1mg a day. I dont find much enjoyment from the benzos by themselves but i do like kpin combined with weed. It takes the anxiety and edge iff for me that i get from weed as well as the paranoia, and although weed high is still enjoyable without the kpin, i find it much more calm and relaxing with kpin.so could taking it 3 times a week lead to tolerance and withdrawel symptoms?
 
Man i enjoy klonopin as well. I don't think it would cause any withdrawal symptoms but i'm not too sure
 
It should takes several months, or even years of daily use to lead to withdraw symptoms if you stop.

Enjoy it : )
 
Just smoke less man. Benzo addiction fucking sucks and no 3 days a week will not work with long acting benzos (or any other benzo for that matter) in the long run.
 
Sorry, wetwolves, but I think I agree with the above post from Toz.

Having an intention to do something only X amount of days per week so often just eases you into an addiction. It's just too easy for 3 to become 4, 4 to 5, and so on. And because of the long half-life on Klonopin it's still possible that you'd get tolerance with only three days a week of use.

If you don't really need it, then avoid it. OR, keep it to a once every while thing. But planning on using it three times a week... I doubt it would end well.
 
klonopin at 1mg and only taking it 3 times out of the week is pretty safe! it has a long half life and physical dependency is harder to come by with this benzo. I dont see you developing tolerance where u will have to increase over 1mg out of those 3 days in the week, however as u know, u will never feel the same effect from the first 1mg u take in quite awhile..ur good dude, its safe and proof!
 
No no no, if you're doing this every week you are very likely to develop tolerance and dependence.
Because of the long half life this is basically the same as taking 0.5mg every day which, while not a huge dose is still enough to produce WD's after a sustained period of time.
3 days on 4 days off is not enough time sober if you want to keep this up.
I would suggest only doing this every other week as a compromise.
I speak from personal experience here when I say that you do not want to end up addicted to clonazepam
Please be careful.
 
Good lookin on the replies everyone! I think with this i should cut to no more then.5 a day and maybe taking every 4th week off wat do u guys think? Also wat about lyrica would that ease weed anxiety like the kpin? I figure it would since it also works on gaba and i hear its not really addicting.
 
but as each day passes your body metabolizes and the half life reduces....so i half disagree?


No, the half life will always remain (roughly) constant and because in this case it is particularly long (18-50 hours, if we go in the middle and say 35 then it will take over a week until there is only 3.125% of drug left) the drug will build up in the system.


edit:
Assuming a half life of 35 hours, this is shows the clonazepam in his system/time
with his proposed dosing plan:

if he were to dose 0.5mg a day:

Notice how the clonazepam builds significantly when dosed on concurrent days, and how on his four 'sober' days of the week there is actually a significant amount of clonazepam still in his system.

3 days/week is too much Klonopin. Remember that Kpins have a long half-life. A shorter acting Benzo, such as Xanax, would be better suited to this task (but still not advisable).

I would predict a steady rise in tolerance followed by unpleasant withdrawals or escalating doses.

I think that .5mg instead of 1mg would be a much better choice. You also mentioned taking a week off every month. I believe this would help with the rising tolerance, but it will be an increasingly uncomfortable week. You won't enjoy that week and eventually may find it actively unpleasant (if you start to notice this, then get off the kpins).

Good luck and stay safe!
 
You can try it OP, just know if you have a good supply your slowly gonna start using daily.
You are talking to someone who just failed his plan of using klonopin 2-3 days a week.
I'd use it like thurs-sat and on sundays i always noticed a bad head ache and depression. So ... now here i am popping klonopin daily to keep withdrawal away. ( although i am taking a super low dose on normal days)
 
Klonopin is a def awesome to add to yout weed to reduce the stress, but benzo addictions can suck.
Benzos develop a tolerance pretty quickly so it gets hard to gauge, I would just stick to the bud dude.
