ok well yesterday i took some amphetamines (vyvanse) and during the comedown (around 2am) i took 2mg of klonopin to help with the comedown and help with sleep. i do this sometimes once a week sometimes once every 2 weeks to keep tolerances low. now i know since this is harm reduction im sure ill be told by you guys not to do this and i probably wont but im curious of the results. i was thinking about taking more vyvanse today and then sometime tommarow morning,probably when my comedown gets bad, take more klonopin probably 2 or 3mg. what worries me is that will taking these benzos two days straight bring on any withdrawels or dependency? because if i were to do this id take atleast a week or so break from everything. like i said ive never done a benzo more than once a week and have never had any withdrawel problems. ive researched and i havnt been able to find how many consecutive days of taking benzos it takes to get withdrawels. im probably not going to be doing this but if i did do i have any worry of getting benzo withdrawel?

2 days in a row shouldn't do much except increase your tolerance a bit, but not make you dependent.
However, you did mention it, and here it comes: as this is a harm reduction forum I just want to mention—
There are a lot of threads and questions about using benzos (mostly klonopin in particular) for the comedown from stims. The general answer is, Yes, it works great, kills the anxiety, helps you sleep. But . . . This is not somethign you want to make a habit of; addiction to stims is bad; addiction to benzos is (arguably) worse; co-addiction to stims in the day and benzos at night/next morning = exponentially worse;
So yes, you can do it again tomorrow or the next day, probably nothing bad will happen. But this is seriously not a road you want to go down as far as doing it 3-4 times a week...

thank you for your answer 
im relieved to know if i did do this id be ok but i dont think i will because like you said thats a bad road to go down. ive heard too many horror stories of benzo addiction/withdrawels.
i have a huge FEAR of getting withdrawels haha but very relieving to know if i did this once id be alright

No, you don't need to worry about developing a tolerance from taking it 2 days in a row. You'd need to take them for like a week straight to begin worrying about tolerance issues. Like with hypnotic benzodiazepines like temazepam your told not to take them any longer than a week to avoid becoming tolerant.
