I feel silly for even asking this- I used to be a seriously heavy drug user. Heroin, meth, pills, you name it. I've been clean from them all for 8 years. Recently I started having major panic attacks. My psychiatrist first prescribed .25 mg of xanex. Those weren't lasting long enough through the day, so she switched me to Klonopin. Well I began having a bad panic attack in my car and all I had was half of a .25 xanex still in my car from before the switch so I took it. So, .12 mg basically. I got home and it was still intense so I took 1/4 of a .5 mg Klonopin. I know these are tiny doses, and I know I've done hard drugs and survived. But now I'm still having anxiety but because I mixed the two drugs, albeit, tiny doses. Am I in trouble or just making my own anxiety worse?

Talk to your Doctor about it.
If that was an option, I would. She's not in the office until Friday. I'm just trying to figure out if that's enough to kill me and if I need to call an ambulance or if I'm just being over the top

I take 1mg. of Clonazepam twice a day and I have a 2mg. PRN of Lorazepam. My doctor said it was totally fine to take together. All medical cases are different.

You will be ok, welcome to bluelight
That makes me feel a little better. Plus it's been over an hour and I'm still alive. Lol. I know it's a super tiny amount and I'm probably way overthinking it. And like I said, I never cared or worried when I used really hard street drugs, but here I am now, stressed over 1/4 of the smallest doses they make of benzos. I appreciate your input.
Thank you.

Only on days that end in Y --- PS dont mix so many CNS depressants you die. that is a REAL WARNING not a glib footnote
Only if the xanax is spelled with 2 A's as well lol

What's only on days that end in Y? And thank you, I didn't realize that I spelled Xanax incorrectly. I was kinda writing in a panic.

in english they all end in Y sundaY mondaY --- ppl do it regularly was the point.
But it is not something to take lightly if you drink or take opioids or BP medication etc

Ohhhh ok. Lol.
I don't take any other medications at all. They gave me propranolol but my blood pressure typically only shoots up when I have a panic attack and the Klonopin h typically brings it back down.

Be careful with the combos forreal. . It would be bad harm reduction not to emphasize that almost noone OD's on benzos alone (Nitrazepam aside). Add a drink or an oxy you could be on your way though. Clonodine, benadryl even if things are bad in your system...
CNS depressants are not to be combined as general principle --- you break that you better have a good feel for what you can handle cuz you taking a risk

The only other thing I take is ibuprofen, and I do take gabapentin as needed for fibromyalgia, but didn't need to take one today, so there was no mixing that.
The good news is, it's been quite a few hours. The panic finally subsided (thanks to everyone for their responses that played a role in easing my anxiety about it.) and obviously, I'm still very much alive and coherent. Just sleepy.
I also want to add that I DO take Kratom from time to time for a bulging disk that gives me some trouble. I was prescribed Norco but because I used to be insanely addicted to Norco, I never filled the script and opted to buy a bag of kratom and every few days or so the pain acts up and I take about a gram of kratom a couple times a day. I typically don't even need my benzo on those days but also don't want to take kratom on a daily basis as I'm aware that it can also become very addictive so the very low dose of a benzo seemed like a better option, as I've successfully been on and gotten off this dose before. My anxiety seems to be a cute and related to circumstances.
Anyway, thank you again to everyone who posted so quickly and helped me to just calm my butt down
