DUDE you don't know what happened until a full autopsy and a detailed toxicology report is complete i know patience upwards of 30 patients on that combp some for three years, i am not sure what else contributed to your son's death, but i doubt it was a recommended suboxone and a low doze of Kilonopin.

listen just b/c you had upset stomach doesn't mean they can't be taken together i have 7-8 patients on both, and have published studies on it. My peers agree Please don;t give incorrect advice the guy could be going through a severe withdrawal. Matter of fact i prescribe the combination of suboxone, aderal, and kilonopin, and for a year or so it had worked wonders. The brain needs to be stimulated

youll get something out of suboxone more so subtex but non opiate tolerent individuals will get to much too easy smaller doses Ive noticed work just as good at very high doses

yes i have personal expierence with this combo i have benzo tolerance but opiates work good on me suboxone is sublingual under tonge long as possible it will make you itch nod vomit ocasionally speedy sorrta high to ive noted a difference then dones percs oxy Highly recomend you take adderal with it Klonopin is high potency be extra carful this isnt a good mix ive been at the hospital if you have low benzo or opiate tolerance i would take some dextro addral ritalin with the suboxone insulfating is a decent route but sublingual is the pills best

It is perfectly safe to take klonopin or any benzo to get off of suboxone, as a matter of fact before suboxone came out the detox for heroin and methadone were valium (a benzo) also a sleep aid such as ambien will help. drink lots of fluids preferably water, and multi-vitamins. Try to eat even if you are not hungry because this helps build your strength. You may also want to stock up on Imodium because unfortunetly diarrhea is a side effect of detox. this is why it is is important to drink plenty of fluids. you may also want to stock up on ibuprofen for muscle aches leg cramps. These are all things to help ease your detox but you will still go through it regardless these things just help make it more bearable.

I agree. People assume if you are addicted to heroin or pain meds and need to take suboxone to control it that you are just an addict whose looking for a way to get high so they hesitate to give both. I was clean from heroin for may years but suffer from terrible anxiety but because my dr knew i had a drug history he would not treat the problems that were in fact causing me to use in the first place! If I was given the correct medication i was recommended to get by my psychologist I would be fine now and i would not have resorted to "self medicate" and would not even be on suboxone in the first place.

its very debatable. some doctors will knowingly prescribe you both; where other doctors will kick you out of the program if you test dirty for any benzos. Personally i have had it together and it works fine for me. It also depends on how many milligrams of each med you are taking and how long you have been on either one. If you are new to suboxone and do not have a high tolerance to any benzo than it is not a good idea to mix then

Ive been on anxiety meds for 11 years since i was a teenager, since , I found myself on methadone daily for abusing narcotics (oxy,d.etc). I have been on the methadone a LONG time but I stopped for almost a year and i was miserable. I came across suboxone and sad to say, I have taken high doses of both at once because the suboxone wasnt doctors orders; anyway I am sick of going to a clinic everyday, and I am trying to get my clonazepam rx to a week at at time and looking for a doctor who will give me suboxone a wk at a time because im more afraid of stopping the clonazepam
So I understand those who lose people but it really comes down to how much you take, I wish it wasnt so complicated, the same amount die combining narcotics with alcohol or just alcohol in general. They have to find some way to treat both some people really really need a benzodiazepine and need opiate treatment ???

TODAY a 25 yr old man died from a reported 2mg klonopin and unknown amount of suboxone. We found him this morning dead in his bed. Rigor had set in. Why take the chance? Make life a priority.

I took Suboxone, clomanzepam and soma and it worked great for me, no interference with the Suboxone for me.

I just lost my son on June 5th 2010 to a combination of suboxone and xanax. We do not know the amount that was taken yet but it should not be taken in combination in any amount Im sure!. I know my son didnt want to die but he did not realize that combo is deadly. He fell asleep and his respiratory system shut down. He was only 19. I pray people quit taking these kinds of drugs. Xanax is becoming a widespread drug epidemic among many young people not to mention many other prescription meds. My son took Klonopin(similar to xanax) for an anxiety disorder but had also been trying to avoid vicoden due to a bad injury a few years back. We are still in shock that this active healthy young man was taken away so quickly and it was somthing he never wouldve wanted to happen to himself. Please DO NOT take these kinds of meds together or you may never wake up! My only consolation is that my son is with God and has no more worries or anxieties, we just have to deal with the pain of missing him so much. Please dont do this to you parents out there!

The lowdown is that Suboxen has naloxen in it which is an opiate antagonist,i.e.what they give U an injection of when u O.D. from Opiates,synthetic and organic like heroin and morphine and that's why u get sick if u are on Suboxen and try to take any thing like darvon ,Oxecontin,methadone,Vicoden,Percodan,etc...

Hey, this post is in response to the one made by WORRY. I don't know who your doctor is and i don't want to put them down when you feel they have been helping you, but what they are perscribing you CAN EASILY KILL YOU man! THE ONLY drugs you are not supposed to take with Suboxone are benzodiazepams (your Klonopin) and anti-depressants! And they have you taking a death cocktail, mixing all three at once! Dude I know people who take Suboxone and Klonopin but thats as far as I would take it, throwing in that anti-depressant might be the extra touch that will lead you to respiratory failure while you're asleep and die. I am happy for you that you are clean now and that is most important, but with the cocktail you're taking you might as well just get on Methadone or go back to taking Oxy or whatver your poison was, at least then you will only be on ONE drug. Its just VERY dangerous man, be careful. And if you dont believe me read the manual AND their official website www.suboxone.com - And believe it or not sometimes doctors really dont care about your health, only that they get their money and that you are happy with your perscriptions so you will come back. I had a doctor give me a methadone perscription just because I told him I needed it, no monitoring or anything. He asked me how much i wanted and i told him start me at 70mg, and he wrote it no problem no questions asked. Next month, how is the dose? Ah, doc it's not working i need a stronger dose, within four months I got up to 120mg a day, almost 400 pills a month and I was abusing the s*** out of them! He was a crooked doctor whowas awesome if you are just doctor shopping, but he had complete disregard for my actual wellbeing, he just gave me what I wanted instead and it took my family intervening in order for me to realize how far gone I was. Just be careful I would hate for something to happen to you because of a doctors irresponsibilty. Good luck with everything and may God be with you.
