Updated

I was recently prescribed suboxone and klonopin. So I was wondering if anyone out there has taken this combo and what thier feelings are on the subject?

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!

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

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.

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 ???

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

No, you do not get sick if you take other opiates such as oxy, morphine or heroin with suboxen from personal experience you just dont feel s*** the suboxen sticks harder to the receptors in your brain so the other opiates bounce off. Naloxen does not enter your blood stream if you put the suboxen under your toung, however if you snort or try to inject suboxen it well put you in withdrawl within 10 min. If your on Suboxen it well make you withdrawl from that too.

I would deffinitly re-think that and also bring it up to your doctor that every article out there about using those to drugs together advises not to. It can really play havoc with your brain. I have been taking Suboxone for a year and I was prescribed clonazepam by my psychiatrist. I tell my medical doctor about all prescriptions that I am given because it is very important that he knowes. He told me that I deffinitly do not want to be taking the two together. I am not putting you down, I just really would advise to get another opinon about that.

Woawoawoa! I don't know if OP is still reading replies, but dude, you're playing a dangerous game for two reasons.
a) Klonopin, as a benzo(diazepine) depresses respiratory fxn. (breathing). Subs, as an opiod, do the same. You are taking two drugs that can cause you to stop or have great trouble breathing. That is a dangerous cocktail. As another poster said, read the literature! I was just prescribed 2x8mg suboxone p.d. (I'm a heroin addict, and just recently can I say "recovering." Very recently, don't get preachy on me :D ) and in the booklet that came with the films (which I hate, ps. I was in detox and they gave me the pills. Now a dr. is giving me the films and I think they are nasty as hell) it specifies DO NOT TAKE BENZODIAZEPINES *XANAX, KLONOPIN, ETC.* WHILE TAKING THIS MEDICATION. They mean it, and say it for a reason!

b)Although I've heard of people using them recreationally (which seems absolutely dumb to me, like people taking methadone...you're not going to get very high off something designed to help users stop using. My gf tried a sub strip, and she compared it to taking 3 or 4 vicodin, which to me is like taking an Altoid...anyway), I assume you're using the suboxone as part of an opiate addiction recovery process. Now, that tells you that you have an addictive personality/a predisposition to drug addiction. Well, Klonopin is addictive, too! I watched someone in Detox withdraw from them and have a Grand Mal seizure, because she hadn't been honest upon intake and told them she was a benzo user...Benzo w/d can cause serious problem, delirium tremens (look it up if you don't know) like alcohol, and massive seizures. Aaaaanndd it's addictive as hell. I would ask your doc if perhaps there is a non- or less - addictive alternative to the Klonnies (trust me - I love them too, but they are not worth the price you pay in the long run!!!). That is, unless you're getting them off the street, in which case, be wise and don't - at best, you're setting yourself up for some very negative side effects, and at worse, you're digging a grave that it won't take you very long to stumble into.

Please be careful.
