How many milligrams of clonazepam would be lethal?
Recently I've been talking with my doctor (psychiatrist), and he said that a high dose of clonazepam could cause a cardiac arrest, and death too.
I've heard cases of overdose of medicines to sleep, and the two cases i know the persons didn't die; just went into a coma for some hours.
With mice, research has been done, and the lethal dose was 50 milligrams per kilo (50/1).
So, if you want to die and you are 65 pounds, you need to take 3250 milligrams. It is 1625 pills of clonazepam 2mg. It's impossible. Forget this. Your stomach won't hold that much.
We are not mice and maybe for us the lethal dose is even higher. I don't know.
A little more...This is an interesting question, and I think a little background is called for:By the 1970's or so, sleeping pills (hypnotics/narcotics) were frequently of the barbituate family. And these were occasionally used as "Calmatives", anti-anxietals, etc. The barbituate family of drugs has some very dangerous side effects. Perhaps most notable are they're easily lethal in low dosages, synergize with alcohol so that the lethality increases dramatically, are wildly addictive (in the psychological and physiological sense), and the addiction requires hospitalization to break. Going off barbituates cold turkey frequently resulted in convulsions and was often fatal. But that was then... Nowadays, barbituates are very hard to obtain, either with a prescription or even on hte black market. They're hardly ever used in medicine at all anymore, although some uses remain current, mostly in in-patient anesthesia.
The drug family called benzodiazepines became popular soon after. Benzos aren't really sleeping aids per se, but they have properties in common with drugs like Ambien (zolpidem), and serve well as calmatives, antianxietals, tranquilizers, antiemetics and quite a few other things. Best of all, even in astronomical doses, they aren't particularly lethal. Clonazepam is of this family.
This isn't to say that you can't overdose on benzos;l just that it takes a LOT of them and lethal OD's are very rare indeed. Can they cause damage? Yes they can. Are they often deadly? No they aren't.

Can I take Oxy four hours after Klonopin?
Yes, they say they should not be taken together, but that is only to prevent idiots who really, really over do it from overdosing. I have taken plenty of all kinds of mixtures and never once came close to an overdose because moderation is key.
If you or someone you know is thinking of ending a life then I suggest you contact the Samaritans. I have made a link to their web site below.
Another answerIt's highly unlikely that combination will prove lethal. However, it may be enough to do some long term damage, which can be painful and generally unpleasant.Rather than moving on into the business of life-taking, may I suggest that you consider some options first? The first answer gives you a link to the Samaritans, who are reputed to be pretty helpful with this sort of thing.
Additionally, if you're feeling terrible enough to consider taking a life, you're also in a position to try other things too. Have you done Everything you want to do first?
Also -- anyone you need a word with before proceeding? This can be a remarkably good time to talk to any number of people -- you can say anything you want.
Take a moment to consider and see if there's anything you've left undone. Then see about addressing that first -- just a suggestion.

How do you quit lorazepam cold turkey?
I have been on benzo's for over eight years both klonopins and ativans and assorted anti-deppressants. Needed to stop anti-deppressants mostly for side effects mainly inorgasmia cause whats the point if you can't have an orgasm you might as well be deppressed.
But as far as benzo's I was taking Ativan 3-2 mg. tabs a day for stress and anxiety and panic attacks was moving and didnt feel like searching for a new doc so I just quit cold but still had half the script left and a refill which i will refill of course
but it has been one month since i stopped and i am fine, may have taken 3 or 4 pills over the four weeks here and there but other than a some insomnia and minor anxiety attacks I am fine and will be better off without them
People understand we will always have stress in our lives but we need to get rid of the single most stressing thing that we deal with, which is different for each of us and start there. Yes that can and might be impossible for most people but it can only start with change, which for most of us is the reason we are on the meds in the first place but I can tell you from experience it can be done and no, it won't be easy but if you want to get off the pills you need to do
what you have to
now I will work on losing some weight and if I don't die first from lung cancer or a heart attack maybe I could try to quit smoking after 32 years
good luck
ps I have quit drinking and other illicit drugs and gone back and quit again
so it can be done
It depends on what mg the tablet is and whether it is brand or generic.

Valium and xanax are benzodiazepines and are not tested for on a DOT drug screen at all. In fact, it is illegal to test for these substances on a federal DOT test. The DOT drug screen looks for marijuana, opiates, PCP, amphetamines and cocaine. There's no such thing as a drug it's illegal to test for according to the DOT; they could test you for steroids if they wanted to. The reason they only test fpr those five drugs is that they're the five drugs most likely to be found in a trucker's urine. Considering that most drivers who do drugs are doing so to stay awake, why would any trucker do downers?

Yes, very bitter!
Xanax (alprazolam tablets), regardless of dose, are extremely bitter. I have taken numerous benzodiazepines (drug class Xanax resides in, as well as Valium, Librium, Serax, Ativan, and Klonopin) and Xanax has a bitterness one will never forget.
If you take Xanax, I recommend that just swallow the tablet whole or however much one has prescribed (i.e. a Xanax 2mg tablet, or "Xanax Bar" may be broken in order to conserve money). Don't let it sit there in the mouth, don't chew it up, swallow it whole and get it over with. Then, take a swig of a soda or something sweet.
If the Xanax tablet is crushed, than swallowing it will be a tough task. Don't mix it with a beverage as it is not water soluble. If one intends nasal insufflation with crushed Xanax, they shall suffer pain and agony. It's best if taking orally to just swallow followed by a sweet drink.
