Klonopin

If your doctor prescribes all three medications and is monitoring your health, you should direct that question to him or her. Otherwise, no.

On the off chance that you don't have a prescription (it might be hard to find a doctor who would prescribe both Trazodone and Elavil at the same time) and are wondering what would happen if you took all three to get high, the short answer is: You would feel bad; you would sleep for most of the next 24 hours. If you took too much, you could die. This is a very real danger.

Trazodone is a weak anti-depressant of the SARI class (serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor) that is sometimes prescribed for insomnia. It works well at low doses, but may cause difficulty urinating, constipation, dry mouth and sinuses, and headache.

Elavil is an older tricyclic antidepressant that is stronger than Trazodone, but has similar side-effects, and is sometimes prescribed for insomnia or as a prophylaxis (preventative) for migraine or for neuropathy (nerve pain).

Klonopin is a benzodiazepine (same class as Xanax, Valium, etc.) often prescribed for anxiety. The medication is longer-acting than Xanax, but doesn't cause feelings of euphoria. It would probably make you sleepy and less anxious.

Taking all three medications together would be unlikely to make you high; in fact, you can expect the side-effects to be extremely unpleasant until you fall asleep, to keep you asleep for most of the next 24 hours, and to leave you feeling groggy and stupid (but not high) for some time after you wake up.

Many people expect psychiatric medication to make them high, but people who take them under prescription will tell you they usually just make you feel bad until your body adapts, then (if therapeutic) they feel relatively normal until you try to stop taking them, at which point you may feel bad again (withdrawal).

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.

Klonopin, also known as Rivotril (clonazepam) is a benzodiazepine class sedative/hypnotic and anticonvulsant. It is similar to medications like Valium (diazepam), Xanax(alprazolam), and Ativan (lorazepam).

Clonazepam is primarily used to treat anxiety disorders, especially panic disorder. Only Klonopin and Xanax are FDA approved benzodiazepines for treatment of panic disorder with or without agoraphobia. Klonopin is commonly used to treat other anxiety problems, agitation, acute mania (in conjunction with other drugs), and for acute seizure control. It is occasionally used as a long term anticonvulsant, as a sleeping pill, and for the treatment of neuropathic (nerve) pain.

After taking Klonopin people tend to feel relaxed and a little tired. Side effects vary widely from person to person and depend on the dose. For anxiety Klonopin is typically prescribed between 0.25 mg- 2 mg twice daily. For epilepsy doses may go as high as 20 mg/day.

Klonopin acts on the neurotransmitter GABA, an inhibitory chemical. Through complex actions Klonopin effectively reduces the ability of nerves to fire, slowing down the brain. As a result of the reduced activity, anxiety is reduced, people become tired, and the reduction of nerve firings reduces the chance of seizure or can help stop a seizure in progress.

No! Klonopin is a sublingual prescription for panic disorders and epilepsy. Adult dose is .5mg/day up to .25 twice daily, depending on age, medical condition being treated and your medical history. Injecting it apparently helps it take effect 5 seconds sooner, but with a lot more risk.

If you are asking in terms of legitimate medical treatment, then this is a question only your doctor can answer. All three of these drugs are benzodiazepines, which means they are similar, yet ultimately have different usages and effects. Which one is best for you to take is a matter that only you and your doctor can decide. It depends on your physiological, psychological, and neurological makeup. Depending on your medical needs and history, any of the three could be best. In order to determine which is best for you, you would have to undergo medical and psychiatric evaluation, and possibly also a trial period for each, to see which one works better for you personally.

If you are asking in terms of recreational use, then I would say Valium is best, although Xanax is a very close runner-up. Valium tends to work faster, hit harder, and leave your body more quickly, so it will give you the best immediate high, without the lingering effects that you may not want (such as grogginess, sleepiness, headaches, or inability to concentrate).

The effects of Xanax are less rapid and intense, but the effects last 2 or 3 times as long. This is good if you want to enjoy some residual effects the next day, but it's bad if you have to get up early to work or study or play sports.

Klonopin is the worst of the three. As far as I can tell, it does absolutely nothing but make you sleep for 24 to 36 hours straight (depending on your dosage and body size). In my experience, there is NO high from Klonopin. It's just a powerful sleeping pill. However, my experience with it was not recreational. I was a severe alcoholic at the time (roughly 1 liter of vodka every day), so when I finally got help and detoxed, the Klonopin was prescribed to prevent the life-threatening seizures that accompany alcohol withdrawal. For people who are not detoxing alcoholics, the effects may be very different.

Here is the bottom line: with the sole exception of marijuana, there is ALWAYS a risk in taking recreational drugs, so you must always be careful, use your common sense, listen attentively to your body, and respect its limitations. Don't overdo it. And if you consistently find yourself overdoing it and repeatedly getting totally out of control on drugs, making a fool of yourself and hurting the people around you...well, then these drugs are obviously not for you. Maybe you should switch to a drug that is neither physically nor chemically addictive, namely, marijuana.

Of course, marijuana can be addictive too, but only "psychologically addictive." Which is just a fancy word for "habit forming."

The point is, if drugs are negatively affecting your life -- your job, your relationships, your finances, your hopes and dreams -- then you're not the type of person who can handle drugs. And there is no shame in this. It's not a reflection on your character or your mental strength. It's just the way some humans develop. It's the way you were born and raised. It's nature and nurture: you're born with certain genetic traits that are beyond your control, and they are reinforced by your parents and close relatives.

It takes a tremendous amount of personal strength and self-awareness to overcome addiction. Addiction is a disability just like any other, and you have to learn -- slowly, painfully -- to function and live a healthy life regardless of your addictive nature. The only shame is in not trying to help yourself.

If you insist on using Valium, Xanax, or Klonopin recreationally, then PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL not to take too much. Don't swallow multiple pills at once, ESPECIALLY if you are an inexperienced user. You could easily pass out and never wake up again. When taken without supervision, these drugs can be very dangerous. It is highly, HIGHLY recommended that you have someone with you who can call 911 if you begin to have problems.

If you are a brand-new user, start with a 1 mg dose (1/2 of a 2mg pill, or about 1/4 of a 5mg pill). Wait 30 to 40 minutes to see how it affects you. If there is little or no effect, then take another 1 milligram, and wait another 30 minutes. You can continue on from there. Taking the drugs slowly and gradually gives your body time to adjust and process what is going on. It will also allow enough time for your body to warn you that, "I can't take much more of this without keeling over. Stop NOW."

The previous answer does have some valid points. Valium is a medium lasting benzo. Therfore, it takes longer to leave your system than Xanax, which is an extremely short acting benzo.

While the above answer does have some good advice, the author's knowledge of how these drugs work is a bit inaccurate. I have 40 years of experience with benzos, and I don't want someone to take this person's advice regarding Valium verses Xanax, and wind up messed up for a lot longer than they expected!
