Klonopin is like a rainbow on how it works and xanax is like a steep mountain spiking fast and wearing off fast. I hate xanax and for real. Worst withdrawals I have ever went thru. Klonopin just help my everlasting anxiety.

Question about xanax+kpins
- Thread starter joshua622
- Start date
anyone?
also, yeah the klonopin is still helping with my anxiety right now, but a few things still made me anxious today but about 75% i was anxiety free. this was with taking 0.75 of the klonopin. Do you think if I took 1mg it would completely eliminate all anxiety I have? Do these things even produce an euphoric effect at higher doses like 2mg+? or is it just more of a don't care way of feeling. The weed definitely made me euphoric which was good.
Another thing, if I drink 1 beer after a klonopin starts to wear off, would it bring back the feeling?

I don't know of any dangers with mixing benzos and cannabis. I just said to start with less or not use all 3 at first just in case you got really strong effects that you might not have wanted/liked or that made you reckless or something.
With drinking alcohol and taking benzos they will intensify each other - you will get drunk off a lower amount of alcohol and may feel the benzo stronger as well, it's a synergistic effect. This is what makes it risky as well, as it also increases the risks like passing out, stopping breathing, etc.
It is likely that even if you drink when the klonipin is starting to wear off it will still have some synergistic effect, but its not quite as simple as drinking a beer bringing back the klonipin to peak beneficial effects - plus everyone's different. Might just mostly feel like you'd had 2-3 beers instead of 1. And I do not recommend drinking becoming a regular method to potentiate benzos when the effects start to fade.
I don't really find these benzos to be euphoric, just calming, relaxing and making me not care as much.

Your replies are correct, exept for smoking erb. If you have anxiety issues and are a weed smoker I suggest you try and have a 3 month break from weed. Its a well known fact that weed and anxiety go hand in hand. When I first started smoking erb (age 14) I was fine right up until about age 22, then the paranoid feelings started to creep in & it was not long till a started having full blown anxiety issues. It took me awhile to work out that weed was the cause. After a month of no erb my anxiety began to subside. this sucks because I do love weed, but I choose no anxiety over weed anytime. Some people seem to be ok smoking weed long term, others not. Unfortunatly its just not for those of us who are prone to having anxiety issues.

^Yes, the weed is likely not helping his anxiety issues at all. I was just responding to his question about whether mixing weed with benzos was potentially lethal. I just meant it's not dangerous as in it's not going to kill you or give you organ failure or things of that nature, not that it had no possible adverse effects on one's mental state.
thanks for the replys, so if i get a slight buzz off 1 1/2 beers would just half a beer get me buzzed then. again thats all im looking for if i do decide to drink. so far weed and benzos have been amazing for me.
and yeah i should probably take a break from smoking weed, as of now i only smoke once or twice a day. would there be any negative effects if i smoked only after i took a benzo until im off them, then took a 3+ month break

Everyone's so different and it depends which benzo you took, how much and how long ago. Just start with a small amount and see how it affects you.
I don't think it's a good plan to use benzos to mellow your weed anxiety so that you can smoke more weed/smoke all the time. And when are you planning to be off benzos? It seems like you want to use the benzos so you can get really high on weed without the adverse effects, but I don't think this will last and it could cause a co-addiction or other problems, like using more benzos than you need. Just try to smoke weed only once in a while.
I answered that question already. As far as I know there are no health dangers from adding the weed. I just suggested you not do all 3 your first time as you might get really high and get reckless, or pass out, drink more than you planned, etc.

I don't think I can say anything that I haven't already said. It varies so much from person to person. What what person feels fine on could make another person black out or pass out, so I can't guarantee it will be safe/a good time for you. Wait til the benzo has fully taken effect and drink very slowly and see how you feel.
Xanax comes in sublingual strips for immediate panic attack relief. Other than those, I don't find xanax or klonopin more useful or powerful under my tongue. I prefer xanax because it is so fast acting, just swallowed. Klonopin is a long lasting drug that helps me sleep. I'd rather have xanax but my doctor took me off of it. It's my own fault I guess. I would take six mg and have a xanax hangover the next day. Six mg klonopin is a great dose if I am worried but I am scripted four mg a night and that is usually what I take. I try to "forget" to take them a few days a week because my benzo tolerance is high. I don't drink though. As I've gotten older I've become a huge pansy and I can't drink much without getting sick. I wouldn't want to waste my benzos throwing them up, for sure. I think the combination of xanax and alcohol might have been what kicked me over into the no drinking zone anyway, so that's something you might want to watch out for.
lol atually, it was a night when my friend had the house to himself with partys both nights, being the drunkest, having the worst hangovers ever 2 days in a row. so now i just don't drink or drink only for a light buzz. I took 0.5 xanax and drank a beer today and honestly didn't really fell anything from when I drank the beer. I then smoked a joint and had a little bit of anxiety come on and off. This is my 3rd time taking 0.5 xanax so does that mean my tolerance has probably already gone up? First two times I smoked i had 0 anxiety. I might try 1mg xanax and 1 beer next time and see how that goes.

Please don't seek "0 anxiety." If you keep chasing that feeling, your tolerance will rise fast and you will become dependent. I had a very good friend who caused himself and his wife a lot of problems by seeking "0 anxiety." You should only use these medications when anxiety levels are too high for you to function properly (i.e. debilitating anxiety). For minor (i.e. normal anxiety), seek other methods of coping. Remember that everyone feels some anxiety some of the time - this is normal. If you continue to chase no anxiety, you'll be addicted in no time. Be careful.
SO apperantly, my tolerance for alcohol is still high, even though i've taken quiet a break. The reason i'm saying this is because yesterday I took 1mg kpin around 3 hours before i started to drink and a xanax about 1.5 hours before i started drinking and was able to drink about 6+ beers (spaced out ) without blacking out at all, or stumbling, making a fool of myself etc. I was quiet a bit more chatty but that was obviously the alcohol. Also keep in mind i've only been on benzos for about a week.
So 1mg klonopin defeinitely helps with my anxiety. If i were to take 2mg klonopin would I feel any euphoria? and with what I said about my night drinking, I should still be safe if i limit myself to maybe a couple less beers since im increasing my klonopin.
Btw i figured out that when I smoke weed on benzos I either don't really feel anything at all, or its just pure euphoria. meh
