The length of time on a medication/drug which may cause tolerance and dependence is relative to the dose and the regularity with which the drug is taken.
For instance, a patient might be prescribed clonazepam 0.5 mg daily when anxious and end up using it two or three times per week. On this basis, a lifetime of use would not be too long.
However, if clonazepam is used at the level of 2 mg three times per day, every day, then tolerance and dependence could occur after just a few weeks.

Clonazepam is most commonly known as Klonopin in the U.S.
Buprenorphine is most commonly known as Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) or less commonly known as Subutex (contains no naloxone, for pregnant women or patients extremely allergic to Naloxone) Buprenorphine is being marketed overseas for the treatment of chronic pain, but its main use is for the treatment of opioid addiction in the United States.
Depending on your tolerance, you don't necessarily have to wait. I took 2mg Clonazepam (Klonopin) at 10pm tonight, at 6pm I took 8mg Buprenorphine/Naloxone (Suboxone). I have been taking Suboxone for 13 months so I am tolerant and used to the effects the drug produces. I have also been on a dose of 3mg Alprazolam (Xanax) daily but recently shifted to a 2mg dose of Clonazepam due to the long half life. I discontinued use of the Xanax when I started the Clonazepam, I've noticed nothing but good results.
WARNING: Klonopin mixed with Suboxone creates an extreme high followed by a crash for a person with low or no tolerance to opiates and/or benzodiazepines. Deaths have occurred when Benzodiazepines and Buprenorphine are combined at high doses, mainly due to respiratory failure as the Central Nervous System is overloaded with sedatives. The same applies with the combination of Methadone and Benzodiazepines
The half life of the Clonazepam is 18 - 50 hours
The half life of the Buprenorphine is 24 - 36 hours
If you are tolerant to both meds it should do what the doctor prescribed it to do. In my case to get rid of anxiety and insomnia. Clonazepam is a good choice in conjunction with Buprenorphine due to the high half life of both drugs. Meaning you will feel the effects for up to 2 days. Even if tolerant, the effects generally last 2 days. Tolerance builds quickly and you don't feel the initial "high" for more than the first couple days. At this point you can take advantage of the beneficial side of both medications.

How long should you wait to get pregnaut after taking adderall?
You will be fine any time after discontinuing the daily dose of Adderall. If you take 60mg daily or less, the entire contents of the medication will be entirely out of your body in about one week (this also depends on your weight, but it would only vary maybe a day or two). In addition to that, you also should not continue the use of Adderall while breast feeding.
Does vinegar rid your system of Klonopin?
No, vinegar has no effect on the metabolism of Klonopin® (generic: clonazepam), a member of the benzodiazepine class. The only way to rid your body of this drug is to wait for the liver to completely metabolize the medication, and for the kidneys to excrete the major metabolite from your body via urine. This can take as long as 30 days. If you have been taking clonazepam for a long time, do not stop abruptly. Acute benzodiazepine withdrawal can be fatal. Consult a doctor for assistance.

Will drinking vinegar clean your system of adderall?
No. Vinegar will not clean any drugs out of your system. Amphetamines (including Adderall) take about 72 hours (3 days) to leave your system, although heavy, long-term users may have to wait 5 days, or even up to a week. If you have a legitimate prescription for Adderall, then you have nothing to worry about. You cannot be fired from a job (or disqualified as a job applicant) for having drugs in your system that were legally prescribed to you.

How do you lower Adderall levels in your system rapidly?
Vigorous exercise works for me, therefore I try to wait until after I exercise before I take my afternoon dose. Don't know if the actual adderall "level" is lowered by exercise, all I know is that it is much less effective for me after exercising.
