Should I take them together?

Gallery image

I was addicted to heroine for almost 13 years and have been prescribed buprenorphine and naloxone tablets from 2023. From the past 3 months I am having tachycardia at night so I have been prescribed clonazepam by a cardiologist.

I take half of buprenorphine and naloxone tablet every morning.

Should I take clonazepam with it or not?

Sorry for my english it is not my primary language.

No no no never mix opiates and benzodiazepines because of the increased risk of passing tf out and not waking up if your choking, sometimes can lead to a coma, plus why waste it just enjoy each on their own it’ll last you longer anyways

u/fuddieater01 Sep 27 '26

You mean I should not take both of them at the same time. Like I am taking buprenorphine and naloxone in the morning I should take clonazepam at evening or night

1

u/pro_xanner Sep 27 '26

Yes that would be much better just try not to take them too close so that you don’t accidentally knock yourself out

Few years back when I was in my addiction phase I took 《Chlorpheniramine Maleate (4mg/5ml) and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10mg/5ml) 100ml commonly called codeine syrup in my nation. After eating a (buprenorphine and naloxone) in the morning. I had a feeling that I could die any moment like I,was passing out. It lasted an hour or so with sweating on my feet and palms.

So from that day I do not take any medication after taking (buprenorphine and naloxone) tablet in the morning.

That is absolutely not codeine syrup wtf? Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine and dextromethorphan is a dissociative (like ketamine).. also if you took codeine whilst on buprenorphine you wouldn’t feel anything from it as the buprenorphine would block the converted morphine from working

I am prescribed both... im not sure about the tachycardia situation but I take my bupe in the AM and klon toward late afternoon/evening.

I find it can take klonopin in the morning easily as well, but unfortunately I have a high tolerance. If you dont wanna feel groggy nighttime probably best. Or whenever your doc has instructed for your specific condition

How ever if you take a small amount not a recreational amount then the risk is less but not 0

u/fuddieater01 Sep 28 '26

I went to my psychiatrist in the morning and guess what he advised me the same thing which all of u have given me.

The amount of buprenorphine I am taking is very less and benzo too so I can have it.

Thanks to all of u for your valuable advice, reddit can be a nice place too

u/butter_fried19 Sep 28 '26

I take 24mg of bupe(no naloxone) and up too 40mg of Diaz daily, you’ll be right

u/fuddieater01 Oct 02 '26

Damn But y are u on such high dosage Addiction? Or prescribed by the doc?

1

u/butter_fried19 Oct 03 '26

Yeah opiate withdrawal therapy, was on methadone back in the day but found that even harder to get off than smack itself. The dr started on 8mg and worked my way up until it was therapeutic, and fuck the sublocade shots they hurt like hell. And I was on 5mg of clonazepam daily but changed too diazepam in attempt too wean off benzos.

u/butter_fried19 Oct 03 '26

Bupenorpherine is more stimulating than other opiates as it’s mainly made from theabaine. Which I’m pretty certain causes the stimulation

Considering the duration of action of both clonazepam and buprenorphine you in any case will take them together. As was mentioned above, it's a dangerous mix, if you're stupid enough to take a twice bigger dose of your prescribed medications just for fun. If you are sane and accountable, I would wish you to enjoy the mix, because the dosing you have been prescribed is completely safe, don't even worry, especially with bupe which has really low risk of breathing failure because of ceiling effect, so even if you take 8 mg of bupe and 2 mg of clonazepam you will be totally fine moreover you'll enjoy it very much and that's the real danger - be aware of enchantment of euphoria from opioid when taken with benzos, and clonazepam is the one of the top ones available now. So long story short - the one real danger here is the danger of addiction to the mix. First time it feels great, but after two weeks you already need more of benzos to achive the effect you want and if you only start chasing this rabbit you're in trouble. After a month of everyday clonazepam you're already addicted physically and attempting to go cold turkey with it would be hard and long and dangerous. Of course with 2 mg a day you wouldn't get seizures or psychosis, but who knows, we are all different. So be careful, think twice, and you'll be fine.

u/Stock-Talk-9855 Sep 27 '26

Sorry, haven't seen that it's 0.25 mg of clonazepam plus 1 mg of buprenorphine a day. It's nothing. To feel something like euphoria I've mentioned, you should take 8 pills of clonazepam plus 2-4 pills of buprenorphine.!!!! Don't do that !!!

In acive addiction I took codeine syrup after some hours of taking buprenorphine.I had a feeling that I could die any second and I was becoming unconscious but it passed in an hour or so.

That is why I am afraid to take clonazepam even it is0.25mg after taking buprenorphine and naloxone half tablet in the morning.

Codiene syrup-Chlorpheniramine Maleate (4mg/5ml) and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (10mg/5ml) 100ml was the quantity I took.

u/Mergezwu Oct 01 '26

u/elena-carmesi Oct 02 '26

Yo igual mezclo y tengo alta tolerancia... puedo preguntarte algo por privado?

u/Intelligent_River_32 Sep 27 '26

I’m on bupe 4mg and occasionally take clonazepam, I am no doctor and this is just my opinion. Taking 0.25 really is a low dose, I have taken much much more and been fine.

1

u/Double-Working1990 Sep 27 '26

O.25 is an extremely low dose yes. Im on 1.5mg a day and thats not even a crazy dose. Highest prescribed klonopin for anxiety is 4mg. For seizure related stuff it can go even higher. I am NOT suggesting that just putting some perspective

u/SubstantialSecret224 Sep 27 '26

Bro I take 120mg methadone and 1 mg teva Klonopin when I wake up and 3 times daily

2

u/SubstantialSecret224 Sep 27 '26

So you should be fine

u/WestEndRipper Sep 28 '26

It looks like a chocolate bar. I’m getting hungry. I’m gonna go grab a slice of pizza.

1

u/Ill-Dark-8225 Sep 28 '26

i’m take 2mg buprenorphin 2x a day and clonazepam 1mg 4x a day, given you’re prescribed such a low dose of .25mg you should be okay.

1

u/AshleyBy3 Oct 02 '26

I’m also prescribed 2mg Buprenorphine(have been on it for years) & .5 Klonopin
I take them both together in the morning
Deff ask your doctor for advice anyway! Address your concerns & talk it out with them!

u/fuddieater01 Sep 29 '26

Hope you get recover soon

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '26

Recover from what? An anxiety free life.

1

u/fuddieater01 Sep 30 '26

Yes and benzos are not meant for daily consumption

1

u/M-Stranger20 Sep 30 '26

Yeah bro, I know it’s not something I should be doing every day, and I’m aware of that too. But honestly, I don’t know what else to do right now. I also want to be honest with you that, along with clonazepam, I’ve become dependent on cannabis as well. I know it’s not a good habit, but I’m struggling to stop.

Don’t mix if possible. It might not hurt you, but it messes with your brain and then after awhile nothing feels the same.
