Does xanax and Klonopin show up the same on a drug test?
My experience is that Klonopin will show up as Klonopin and Xanax as Xanax. Urine testing has become very specific (through urine testing too) and will be is able to tell the difference between the two Benzos.
Klonopin overdoes alone doesn't kill (if not involved another cns depressants like alcohol, opioids and barbiturates). Klonopin withdrawal can kill from seizures, however.
How long does Klonopin in system?
There are so many answers in this thread it is baffling. Some of the answers are accurate, semi-accurate and some are just down right wrong. It all depends on what test is used. The most widely used lateral flow immunoassays are calibrated for oxazepam at 300 ng/ml of urine. If it is positive they generally send it off for GC/MS testing. As someone already clearly stated what clonazepam breaks down to it would be redundant for me to do into that. Clonazepam does not metabolize to oxazepam. However, large doses over a period of time can lead to a positive immunoassay, ususally around 781 ng/ml of Clonazepam. The amount of actual non-metabolized clonazepam released in urine is less than 1-2%.
In a chronic low-dose user (less than 3mg per day), many test negative on immunoassay. Single dose users, dependent on dose generally test negative on immunoassays. If an immunoassay is calibrated toward 7-aminoclonazepam and clonazepam (they are available) they would produce a positive.
When expensive GC/MS testing is done due to a positive BZO lateral flow, the lab needs to know to look for Clonazepam and 7-amino clonazepam.
In sum, if someone stays off clonazepam for a few days, the likelyhood of a positive test by most used lateral flow immunoassay would be very slim. So, it would techinally would be a "false-negative" because the lab could detect it if looking for it with GC/MS. There is much literature online one can review. Academic literature is more accurate than others info. Alot of what people put out there is incorrect and/or incomplete.
Answer:
The short answer is: Stop taking the drug and wait. It'll be gone in a few days.
The catch is that, like all benzodiazipam category drugs, if you've been taking it for more then a month then you'll need to taper off slowly because of withdrawals (although extremely rare, 2 deaths have been attributed2).
Answer:
Not only can a drug test detect Klonopin, it can also measure the level, or amount of drug in the body.
Answer:
Klonopin® (generic: Clonazepam) is a benzodiazapine used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It has a half-life of anywhere from 18-50 hours, meaning that is how long it takes your body to reduce the amount of clonazepam in your system by half.
If you took three 1 mg tablets, within one to two days, 50% of its major metabolite 7-aminoclonazepam (7-ACLO) will still be in your system, and detectable by urinalysis; within three to four days, 75% of the metabolite will have cleared; within five to six days, 87.5% will have cleared, and so on.
Unfortunately, because the rate of metabolism varies from person to person, the concentration of 7-ACLO measurable in the urine doesn't necessarily decline in a direct linear fashion. You may show peak concentration, the point at which the metabolite is highest and most easily detected, anywhere from the first to the eighth day after taking the drug. Depending on the sensitivity and specificity of the test, one 3 mg. dose of clonazepam is detectable in urinalysis at 14 days; and there is a 75-80% chance of it being detectable at 21 days. It may take 28-30 days for the medication to clear your body completely.1
Most likely, a low-cost employment or other screening test won't be sensitive enough to pick up the one-time use anywhere near that long (the above data came from a forensic study). A drug detection timetable for short-term use of benzodiazapines suggests you should be able to pass a drug test after 5-7 days (the upper end of the time line). This is not a guarantee, however.
Since benzodiazepines are metabolized by the liver and excreted in the urine, drinking a lot of water may help slightly, but won't increase the speed at which your body metabolizes the drug.

Accudiagnostics
I will do further checking of the medical journals later and repost my reply. I have been taking 4mg of Clonazepam (Klonopin) since my auto accident in 2006, when my car flipped, rolled 3 times, my airbag did not deploy, my seat-belt was on, and I had a fractured skull, vertebrae, and 5th metatarsal. I have Cerebral Palsy, which was mild until my accident. After my accident, I developed hammer toes and increased shakiness, etc. My doctor prescribed this medication and kept increasing the does until the problems that kept me from functioning and sleeping disappeared (yes, she was amazed that I tolerated the dosage without falling asleep in her office). A little less than 3 years ago, I moved to PA and found a new physician. I take 2mg of Clonazepam around 6A.M. and see my doctor in the afternoon and ALWAYS fail the urine test. I am researching to discover why (I am uncertain as to what type of urine screen they do, but was assured that it should show up in my urine). This has caused me a great deal of difficulty but one day, after my doctor's staff did not give her my messages about refilling my Rx (they were buried under papers on top of my file), I showed up at her office in withdrawal (my BP was around 160/130 something and pulse was in the 120s, and I felt awful. I can guarantee you that 8 hours after taking 2mg of Klonopin/Clonazepam that it did not show up in the urine tests. I am dealing with a new doctor at this clinic since November, and was told Wednesday (after calling about my refill Friday, Monday and Tuesday) that they would not refill my Rx, would not do any further tests and wanted to see me in 3 months. I requested a copy of my medical records, went to the ER (my BP was up again), I failed the urine test there, they gave me 2mg last night, watched me take it, checked my mouth (all at my request) and I am returning for another test this morning, which I know I will fail again.
"Insensitivity of benzodiazepine screen: only 40% for lorazepam; clonazepam (Klonopin) frequently negative on both EIA and GCMS."

Can i take flexeril with klonopin?
These medications when mixed can result in MODERATE dangerous side-effects. These occur in two categories.
MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.
How and why do people abuse Klonopin?
First you must choose a dosage, then you take the pills, put them in your mouth, quickly add water, and swallow. Some people crush them and snort them, but swallowing works WAY better.
I do not condone drug (ab) use.
Is it safe to take Klonopin while pregnant?
Although not conclusive, there has been evidence to show that there may be risks in taking this drug while pregnant. Klonopin is a benzodiazepine derivative in which studies have shown that malformations can occur such as cardiac and facial deformations when such a drug is used early in one's pregnancy. Again, such data obtained from such studies are not conclusive; however, other defects from this range of drugs can also be development shortcomings such as decreased IQ. When used late in one's pregnancy, this could cause the child to suffer from benzodiazepine withdrawal which could include complications such as floppy infant syndrome, a reluctance to suck, impaired metabolic responses to cold stress, and more. Some of these symptoms may even persist for hours or months after birth. In short, although not conclusive, it might be best to stay off of this medication during one's pregnancy, or consult one's physician to find alternative medication which pose no threat to the development of the fetus.
It gives no feelings but if you are experiencing unpleasant feelings from taking an antipsychotic like Haldol it will make those unpleasant feelings go away.
Can Klonopin ambien and xanax be taken together?
A hypothetical patient may be prescribed this combination.
It is important to note, however, that many of these medications have similar side effect profiles, and therefore the combination is not safe for ALL patients.
Additionally, due to these side effects, many of these medications may not be safe for all patients to use simultaneously, even if prescribed for use in the same day.
All four of these medications require a prescription. Therefore they should only be used (alone or in combination) under the specific instructions of your doctor or other provider.
All medications have risks as well as benefits. A prescriber ordering this combination believes that the benefits are greater than the risks. Discuss your individual concerns with the prescriber or your pharmacist.
Is it safe to mix Klonopin and morphine pills?
Benzos (Klonopin) and narcotics do not mix well. In even small doses the mixture can cause respiratory arrest.
Some pain management and surgical procedure patients are given a prescription for both, but they are told to take the Benzo for sleep and the narcotic for daytime pain.
Also, if or when you decide to stop taking them, Benzos are almost impossible to detox from - They change your brain chemistry, permanently.
Is it okay to mix amoxicillin with Klonopin?
Klonopin and Amoxicillin are two different medications. One is for bacterial infection, similar to penicillin, and the other is a muscle relaxant for panic disorders, anxiety disorders, etc. It should be safe to take them together.
Can Zoloft be taken with Klonopin?
Taking these two medications together could cause respiratory depression, which could result in death. This is dose dependent, however, so the amount you take dictates when the combination becomes dangerous.
How can you flush Klonopin in 24 hrs out of your system?
The short answer is: Stop taking the drug and wait. It'll be gone in a few days. The catch is that, like all benzodiazipam category drugs, if you've been taking it for more then a month then you'll need to taper off slowly because the withdrawal can actually be fatal, so if you're asking about reversing a habit, you should definitely consult with a doctor.
Is it safe to mix ambien cr 12 5mg ativan and Klonopin How much is too much?
I asked my doc the same question today.
I'm NOT sure about klonopin, I don't take that drug.
My doctor said that taking ambien (zolpidem) together with ativan (lorazepam) is safe, since it functions on different receptors in the brain. So there shouldn't be a synnergic effect.
Can you take Klonopin and mucinex dm?
It is only safe to take Klonopin (an anti-seizure, anti-anxiety medication) and Mucinex DM (an exptorant) if you are NOT pregnant. If you are pregnant, however, neither of these medications should be taken without your doctor's express approval. Klonopin can cause birth defects to a fetus, and can pass into breast milk when breast feeding. So if you aren't pregnant, but are breast feeding, do not take this medication without your doctor's express approval. Otherwise, yes, you can take both of these medications together.
Is it possible to test negative for Klonopin on a benzo test?
Absolutely not. Klonopin is a Benzodiazipen and it can stay in your system for up to 6 weeks based on your usage and your metabolism. I have had it test positive for 5 weeks. Benzo's are nearly impossible to cleanse out of your system. I even bought a 70 dollar test cleaner and I still failed.
What is a nonaddictive alternative to Klonopin?
Neurontin is a non-addictive alternative to Klonopin, but it must be prescribed by your physician.
What happens if you snort a 1mg Xanax with a 1mg Klonopin at the same time?
that is really not a smart idea benzodiazepines do NOT disolve well in the nasal area and snorting Clonazepam is a bad if not stupid idea you will have less than half the effect but some people do it anyways and if it is your first time doing benzodiazepines you might have a risk of passing out or doing stuff you regret. I advise you just swallow it.
Is it safe to take Nyquil while you are also taking Adderall Klonopin lexapro and percocets?
It is not safe to take NyQuil while also taking Adderall, Klonopin, Lexapro, and Percocet, as it can cause seizures and other serious side effects.
If you took 90 Klonopin 180 Soma 350 mg and 30 Ambien CR would that kill you?
Well I did it last night I lost track after the 4th pill I woke up thismorning to a empty bottle I've had chest pains all day but I'm alive ill never do this drug again unless I have someone control it fore
Can you mix Klonopin with Valium?
Citalopram (brand name Celexa) and clonazepam (brand name Klonopin) have no drug interactions. They belong to two different classes of psychiatric medications. Citalopram is a SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) that is used for a variety of psychiatric diseases including depression, while clonazepam is a benzodiazepine that can be used for anxiety. Please consult a psychiatrist or pharmacist if you have any further questions about using these medications together.
Is it safe to mix Klonopin with Valium?
Same family of medicine, both Benzodiazepines. Only issue would be knowing the potency or what mg of each medicine it would equal.
Example: To you, would 2mgs of Klonopin and 2mgs of Valium equal 4mgs of Klonopin/Valium? Is that to much?
It's better to use lower doses of one medicine when not properly knowing how your body reacts.
Can you take ibuprofen with Klonopin?
Tramadol is a synthetic opioid analgesic, it is not an opiate. Tramadol is a fairly weak opioid which also has pharmacological actions like a serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, a type of antidepressant like Effexor (venlafaxine). Tramadol has been shown to be particularly effective in treating neuropathic pain in part do to its effects on serotonin and norepinephrine. Most of tramadol's opioid actions are to its active metabolite O-desmethyltramadol, an opioid hundreds of times more potent than tramadol itself.
Some people find tramadol to have stimulating effects as a result of its actions on serotonin and norepinephrine.
Klonopin (clonazepam) also known as Rivotril outside of The United States is a benzodiazepine used as an anticonvulsant and for panic disorder. However it is commonly used off label to treat other anxiety disorders, as a muscle relaxant, and for neuropathic pain. Unlike opioids which are not technically "depressants," Klonopin is a central nervous system depressant acting on GABA, the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter. Klonopin is routinely combined with opioids to boost the effect of opioids (thus requiring a lower dose of opioids), to help with any muscle problems, and Klonopin can help alter pain signaling. Klonopin reduces the ability for nerves to fire which is why it can help anxiety and epilepsy and since there are fewer nerves firing there is somewhat less transmission of pain signals.
As long as you take your medications as prescribed you should be fine.
Theres a couple routes you can go.
Intramuscular and intravenous. With both routes and most especially with IM take great care with the injection. Only use fresh unused syringes preferably straight from the pharmacist. Its best to also only Inject straight from the pharmaceuticaly prepared injection vials, although its possible to safely inject street K as long as its good qaulity.
First swab the injection spot with rubbing alcohol. If you have a vial read the dosage per ml, they are most commonly 50mg/ml but this is not always so, so make sure you check. I will talk about dosage later. Figure out how many ml's you need of the soluition then Gently and firmly drive the needle through the rubber stopper at the top and slowly left the plunger to draw the ketamine solution into the syringe.
If you have powder you can just suck up how ever many units of water you want with your syringe and spray it on a pile of k that rests on a spoon or in a waterbottle cap or something. You can dissolve it by gentle shaking the object its resting in, stirring with plunger of syringe or repeatedly sucking up up solution and spraying back out until you dont see any more powder.
For IM
Do about 50mg-100mg
Take some time yourself to research on how to do a general IM injection, there are many short medical guides that will give you a good idea. But pretty simply poke a muscle, preferable under thigh or butt cheek and slowly push the plunger down, it should take you like 15-30 seconds to complely push plunger down. Effects will kick in in minutes.
For IV
I much prefer IV, as it gives you a rush and much better bang for your buck oh plus its safer in terms of injection. However it is important to remember that it will hit you immediately. It is common for IV K users to fall into a k-hole before they even get the needle out of they're vein.
First find a vein preferable in the bend of your elbow, one you got it gently but firmly, slide the needle into the vein, go at an angle. If it hurts your probably not doing it right. When you think your in the vein make sure you push up on the plunger a little bit, if you are indeed in the vein a plush of blood will beautifully spiral into the syringe. Take care when you push up on the plunger for alot of ppl actually push the needle out of the vein when they do this and the syringe fills with blood right before it leaves and then you have no way of knowing your in a vein for the next stab at it(pun hehe) Once you see blood and you think you've kept it in the vein your good to go, gently ease the plunger down, it shouldtake you like 6 seconds.
You'll immediately get a pleasing taste in the back of your tongue and feel the warm tingly rush all over your body. It can take like up to 30 seconds to hit a full fledged K-hole so make sure when you do it your in a position already that you can lay down until you come out of the k-hole.

Can you take dilantin and Klonopin together?
Of course you can. You can take any pill with any pill. both those pills are benzodiazepines, the same class of drugs. Together they have a synergistic effect- meaning the result they produce together is greater than the result either one of them could have alone. They are central nervous system depressants. Take enough of them, your heart slows, you stop breathing.
If you are asking this question, you need to talk to your doctor. If you just want a "good high" this isn't it; you will get sleepy, you won't have a sex drive, and you may as well call it a night.
If you want to take them to kill themselves, well, I recommend you wait one more day and see how you feel. Even the worst depressions can lift in one day if you'll just hang on.
Call a suicide hotline. Call a friend. Call your MOM.
Can you take Celexa Abilify and Klonopin together?
A hypothetical patient may be safely prescribed this combination to treat a variety of conditions. As these are each prescription medications, they should only be taken (singly or in combination) under the specific instruction of your physician.
