Yes, these are sometimes prescribed together.
This is only MY personal experience, I AM NOT A DOCTOR:
The Klonipin is for anxiety disorders of varying levels of magnitude. The Adderall for ADD, ADHD, depression, and/or to negate the drowsiness of Klonipin.
If you just started taking Klonipin, it might be overwhelmingly sedative. After a week or so, I found my body adjusted. For others, taking Klonipin muddies their thinking, and the Adderall helps them to maintain focus/alert, but gives them uncontrollable shakes/shivers - but the Klonipin should counteract that.
It's a balancing act. Psych meds. are kinda' like spaghetti. You go through a lot before you find the one(s) that stick to the wall. In between the rest of the roller coaster ride it's not pretty. Then again, if you really are suffering from any number of mental health issues, going on the roller-coaster of Big Pharma is the only way you might find relief -- and a path back to a "normal" life.
Note - you cannot take either forever...they both have long-term trials on them and it's only 50% good news. There are exceptions, of course.
I recommend Googling "Crazy Meds" - it is one of THE most exhaustive wikis on medications and the individuals taking them....LOTS of great reference to read before/during/after taking the meds...

∙ 13y agoI take them both and tolerate them very well but I only take 1mg at bedtime. I was told not to take it within 2-3 hrs of taking Adderall but I have for anxiety and nothing happened. However, I wouldn't do it since I was told by Dr and Pharm not to. My problem right now is trying to figure out how much Adderall I actually need? 30mg XR was to strong, 15mg IR makes me fall asleep within an hr. Tried 2 15 IR and it still put me to sleep. Hope that helped some.

Adderall question having major sexual side effects when taking adderall is there anything you can to to reverse this?
Umm, I've never experienced major sexual side effects, or any. I'd suggest just to get off of it if the side effects bother you that much. When I was on it, it altered my psyche. I mostly reverted back to how I was before hand, but there's still some permanent damage I guess.
