if you are careful. definatly consult a doctor about that though. heath ledger died recently because he mixed a pain killer, an antidepressant, and an antianxiety agent, (by doctors orders [a stupid doctor at that]) in theraputic doses, not even as a recreational drug to get high. klonopin is an antianxiety agent and oxycodone is a pain killer so that's 2/3.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mixture of these two medications, Oxycontin and clonazepam, is VERY DEADLY! The previous answer on Can you mix Oxycontin and clonazepam compares the combo to Valium and vicodin...???
That is NOT even a compatible comparison. Not at all!
On April 15, 2010, I lost my wonderful, intelligent and forever loving son. He was only 28 years old. He has been dealing with neck, head and shoulder pain for many years and after many other narcotics were tried and he got addicted to them, he went through the Narcotics Anonymous program and got off all the medications, except an anti-inflammatory, dicloflenac. He was in pain daily but no tests could identify what the problem was. MRI's, CAT's, bloodwork-ups, rheumatologist, neurologist, bone specialists, physical therapy could not find the cause of his headaches and pain which turned his ears, neck and shoulders from a light red to maroon coloring. His pain was so unbeaarable and he went to the doctor (of which he had signed for them to NOT prescribe ANY medications without going through me (his mom) first) and they prescribed clonazepam to him without my knowledge.
On April 10th, 2010 he got 0xycontin from another NA person and when my son was not able to be woke up within an hour of taking this combo, the people with him did not call 911 for 10 hours. By then my son was not breathing and was blue in color, they said. A police officer and EMT's were able to bring him back but then he went into cardiac arrest - 3 times they did CPR on him. The lack of oxygen to his brain caused both sides of his brain to be damaged and he was in a coma. Machines were keeping his kidney's going and a respirator was keeping him breathing. The doctors told us on the first day he wouldn't survive and if he did, he would always be on a vent and 24/7 dialysis. They told us he would never come out of the coma. He would never open his eyes, hear, see, speak or breath on his own again. We refused to believe it and prayed and used positive energy and positive sound to try and bring him back to us.
On April 15, 2010, he died.
The hospital staff and dr's and the funeral home and the cemetery all told us that they are seeing this type of death A LOT! Not every few months, but nearly daily they are trying to save someone who has taken this combo and the hospital staff said they had NEVER SEEN ANYONE SURVIVE this!
Don't think that your dr has YOUR best interest at heart. They have other patients and they just want to get through the visit quickly and they do not care about you at all. Our dr had been his dr for 8 years and she knew his history and yet she prescribed clonazepam. She knew he had almost died a year earlier from Oxycontin. He didn't have clonazepam then and by the grace of God, he pulled through last year, only for her to give him the drug that would definitely kill him if he went out on the streets and got Oxycontin again.
My son was married with a 5 year old daughter and a 2 year old son.
He was such a large part of our family and although he was going to NA meetings (he had been to his last one just 2 days prior) he mixed the wrong drugs and died because of it.
THIS COMBINATION IS DEFINATELY A DEATH SENTENCE!
Hug your kids and tell them daily you love them. You don't know what they may be doing, especially when they are adults. If you suspect your child is doing drugs...GET THEM HELP IMMEDIATELY...DON'T TAKE "NO" FOR AN ANSWER. Have them Busted if you have to...at least in jail they are still alive!

whats more stronger xanax or klonopinXanax and Klonopin are about the same as far as strength goes. Only difference is, Xanax effects can be felt much more quickly. Klonopin takes about 2 hours for full effects and lasts from 8-10 hours.Some people swear on the Xanax for the euphoria, others for Klonopin. Only way to know is to find out :)Either way, you have two very good medications!
You're an idiot.
Klonopin, with out a doubt!
Yes
Stupidity...among others...
Klonopin is also widely known as Clonazepam which is the active ingredient in it.Klonopin (Clonazepam) is grouped under the drug class called Benzodiazepines.Klonopin affects chemicals in the brain, so it is prescribed for the treatment of seizure disorders and anxiety.Since it changes certain chemistry of the brain, it may also cause the brain become unbalanced resulting in many side effects.The side effects are generally benign in short-term use, but sudden withdrawal after long-term use of it can cause severe symptoms, and sometimes they can be even fatal.The side effects of this drug are very extensive. For a complete list of the side effects, please click on the related links, Klonopin Side Effects and Klonopin Side Effects Center.
The best I can tell you on that one is....klonopin is a longer acting benzo although xanax does seem to work better for me...for instance,I've been on xanax for 10 years,in my 3 pregnancies I was switched to klonopin...so,I wish I could give you a yes/no answer but I can't....just that xanax is stronger but not as long "acting" as klonopin
Yes. Klonopin, or Clonazepam, is a form of Benzodiazepines, the most common classification of anti-anxiety medications. Much like Xanax, Klonopin is available in .5mg, 1mg and 2mg tablets. Street value of Klonopin is significantly higher than Xanax. Klonopins will definitely get you very high however, I do not in any way shape or form recommend it. Klonopins have some very nasty common side effects and some disgusting long term effects with continued use.
They R All benzo's and will Compound the effects of each other. So I would take 1 or the other, Not all of them!
Xanax is used for anxiety disorder and Klonopin can also be used for the same thing. Xanax should be out of your system in 5 to 8 days.Klonopin can stay in your system for 24 to 48 hours.
yes just less powerful 4mg xanax = 4mg colonipin
Neurontin is a non-addictive alternative to Klonopin, but it must be prescribed by your physician.
