Im not looking to get high off of the clonazepam, I just want a drowsy weed high, but I also have sever social anxiety disorder,but my doctor only gives me long term anti depresants that induce anxiety....hes about to put me on paxil, taking me off zoloft, so we'l see what happens
Let me first address the issue of SSRI's. While they can be helpful, and aren't incredibly dangerous, they are not drugs that allow one to enjoy life without some emotional blunting and flattening. If they are only being prescribed to you for anxiety, I would suggest tapering off. If you have been on the Zoloft for a while, I'd ask to be switched to Prozac (fluoxetine) and slowly taper off. Prozac is the best SSRI to taper with because of it's extremely long half-life, and its metabolite's extremely long half-life. Now, you could just taper off Zoloft, but do so slowly. A switch to Paxil from Zoloft isn't the worst thing since they are both short-acting with short half-lives, but for that very reason they are not the best SSRI's to be used in my opinion. If are switched to Paxil, I'd advise taking it more than just once daily, so you don't yo-yo throughout the day and night. For instance if you were prescribed 20 mg to be taken in the morning, I'd take 10 mg in the morning, and 10 mg at night for a more steady blood level, and more steady effect. However, my general recommendation is to taper off the SSRI's. Your doctor may not like the fact you want to get off of the SSRI's, but want to keep your benzo script, so you might want to consider slowly tapering them on your own. Just reduce the dose little by little, over the course of however long it you need, probably at least a couple of weeks. Like I said short-acting SSRI's aren't pleasant to come off of, but it is possible if you do it cautiously and conservatively, but Prozac would be the best bet for taper. Do some internet research on the in's and out's of the whole ordeal.
As for the clonazepam, I made my suggestion of 0.5 mg clonazepam to be taken before smoking. This will make for a much more relaxed high. I might even say 1 mg would be okay, if you really want to be sedated, but I'd get sense of how the 0.5 mg works for you. One good thing about benzos is that, if not used on a daily basis, tolerance doesn't really seem to build up that much, at least it is quite slow. Now, take benzos daily is another story, tolerance goes up some, but the dependence is what you have to watch for, because once you're benzo dependent, you are taking them to function properly, and if you were to stop taking them abruptly the withdrawl symptoms would be extremely unpleasant and very dangerous, even lif-threatening. So, I advise you use the clonazepam as needed for when you want to zone out or calm down, or whatever.
