Can you take ecstasy with Klonopin?

Answer 1

There are countless different kinds of Ecstasy. An Ecstasy pill is rarely pure Ecstasy (MDMA). Usually, Ecstasy pills are cut with another drug or drugs. Most often, they are cut with some form of speed (amphetamines or methamphetamines), but they can also be cut with cocaine, ketamine (Special K), or heroin or other opiates.

Unless you buy a pill-testing kit, there is no way to really know what's in the Ecstasy you are taking. Because of that, the safest course of action is to take Ecstasy alone, without any other drugs (with the exception of marijuana -- marijuana goes well with Ecstasy, as well as most other drugs). Since you can't really know what's in an Ecstasy tablet, you can't know whether or not clonazepam is safe to take with it.

MDMA is itself a stimulant, so when it is mixed with other stimulants (speed, cocaine) its stimulant effects become even more powerful. Clonazepam is a depressant. Mixing stimulants and depressants is very hard on your heart, and can lead to a heart attack. Opiates and ketamine are depressants, and when you take one depressant (clonazepam) on top of another, you put yourself at risk of falling asleep and never waking up (overdose).

Most people experience what is called a "comedown" after taking Ecstasy. When the effects start to wear off (after about 4 to 6 hours), you feel wired, anxious, irritable, and generally unhappy. In order to soften the comedown, many people take Valium, Xanax, or clonazepam when they are coming down off Ecstasy. In that case, a very small amount of clonazepam is probably okay to take.

As I said, the safest course of action is to just take the Ecstasy alone, or to take only one small-sized clonazepam pill after 6 hours, when the effects are wearing off. If you are really determined to take clonazepam while you are high on Ecstasy, then at the very least, take tiny amounts of it. Take a small piece of a pill, and wait 30 to 40 minutes to see how you feel. If you feel okay, you can try taking another very small piece. Whatever you do, do not take more than a normal dose of the clonazepam.

Answer 2

I have been on both perscribed by a psych, so yes...of course ambien at night for sleep and clonazepam (klonopin) throughout the day as needed for anxiety...keep in mind it varys from patient to patient and their tolerance levels....

Answer 3

I have never taken these two together. Here is my logic. Clonazepam is a long-acting benzodiazepine. You might be familiar with other benzodiazepines. In the United States, they are sold under such names as Valium, Librium, Restoril, and Tranxene. They are used to induce sleep and reduce anxiety by shutting down the frontal cortex. MMDA is an relative of amphetamine. I would guess that the effects of Ecstacy (MMDA, others) would be reduced by clonazepam. Clonazepam might be something you would take to help you sleep after the Ecstacy buzz has worn off but the stimulation continues to linger in the same fashion as when you drink a whole pot of coffee.

Answer 4

My psychiatrist prescribed clonazapam and gabapentin for me. If he prescribed it and he is a Dr, I would assume that there shouldn't be any interactions. He said that taking gabapentin would make the effects of Clonazapam stronger.

Answer 5

yes just be ready to move slowly and be relaxed, not high

Answer 6

If, and only if, you are a complete idiot. Taking any illegal drug is dangerous.
