I was just wondering because I am on both klonopin and hydrocodone.
Is it safe to take clonazepam together in combination with hydrocodone?

Hi there arc. You probably know what my answer will be! Just be careful with the CNS effects of both meds. I read your last question and wasn't sure how to respond to it. It sounds like you've had some bad experiences with the "system" and are very frustrated. There was a time when depression wasn't considered an illness and lobotomies were one way of dealing with some psychiatric disorders. We've come a long way in this field but you're right, there's still prejudices that we have to face as a nation and confront them head on. Be safe with the meds and keep up the great work.
your friend,

The united states has way 2 much greed and i am at a breaking point.I don't know what caused some of my other close friends on here to leave the US but i know that alot of people don't like americans health care in this country.Doctors act like they are federal judges now.Telling you what you can and can't take besides the fact.If you think you really need it or not. Needing to have a huge diagnosis just to slide by 2 actually be apart of obama care.O and to let anybody know who is in pain and wants narcotics.Tell those doctors your dying because that's the only way they will ever give them to you.
How is anybody in the Big pharmacutical companys ever thought of doing a double-blinded study on the life to death ratios of a person who just takes one drug compared to those who have taken 2 or more drugs?WW3 here we come.
"Has anybody" srry about that.
How long do you space them out in between?I am supposed to be taking anti-deppressents but don't anymore because i have become obese and half the anti-deppresents out there have a side effect marked (possible weight gain)right on the side of it.I don't even know what to do anymore because if i gain any more weight.I will be putting myself at risk for heart attack because i already suffer from a seizure disorder as well.Man i am fcking screwed.To hell with this bullshit.Try to help your self and people still don't give a damn.Not you cathleen186 it's the stupid united states and their stupid regulations that gets on my nerves.O and thanks for the advice!!
I understand your anger!! No worries here. When I say space them out I mean taking the pain pill (which usually lasts 4 hrs) then 2 hours into that, take my clonopin and so on and so forth. Hope that helps, your friend, cathleen

I've been on both of these drugs in the past and so well associated with the hydrocodone thing. Hydrocodone being one of the best, have taken it off and on for years due to two reconstructive knee surgeries, slipped disc in my back and several other surgeries. I am now on Klonopin again for the 3 rd time in my life and am now taking this med with Celexa 40 mg a day, I however have been battling it out a bit with over the counter meds containing the ingredient diaphenedrine for sleep when needed, but you should be ok, I didn't have any bad effects from either
O yeah diyphenedrine works very well for sleep as well as vitamin worlds melatonin sleep aid.Yea need to get back on some of my anti-depressents as well.I used to take lexapro and abilify but stoped taking them because i started smoking pot again.
Hey arcan'16, good to hear from you... I have found that Diaphenedrine works well as a calming effect, especially if you have a high tolerance... Have you been keeping tabs on the news though with the Arests of many doctor's, medical staff who were running what they called pill mills/oxycontin war', in Florida, my place of birth and home growing up... It is this that puts many a squeeze on patients out there that are somewhat responsible and do their best to take their medicationa as prescribed... I agree with much of what you say and feel your pain... take care... Blaze22

I took both at the same time because of a visit to my therapist at the Va Hospital,which was going to take roughly an hour an a half.I did not want to experience my back pain from interrupting my session nor did I want to feel stressed also.I took them both on an empty stomach because at the time,i was experiencing too much pain to eat.At the session,i felt nausea and asked to go to the bathroom and I passed out cold,chin first to the floor.I ended up in the ER with a lot of blood all over me,6 stitches to my chin and a fractured jaw.The doctor took me off the clonazepam because she said it was not a good combination with the pain meds.Never had a problem taking them in a spaced out method but certainly together I did.

Ok thanks everyone!!! I also called a pharmacist 2 and the worst she said it can do is make you sleep.So i guess now that ain't all that bad considering I have insomnia.lol XD
Yes - in the proper dosages. At high doses, the combination could prove fatal (opiates and benzos both depress your central nervous system, most notably your breathing, and synergize together to create much stronger effects). But, as long as you keep your doses straight, and stay hydrated (both are hard on the liver) you'll be A-okay :)
I have been taking this combination for month's now and never once have I had any serious problems to this date.I do recommend spacing them out like some one else on here mentioned.So that you don't knock your self out all at one time.The only real weird side effect that seems to bother me a little bit is when i take a hydrocodone a couple hours later.I start to slurr in my speech a little bit don't know if that's the codeine or the tylenol but more than likely its probably just the codeine in it.Kinda makes me feel like I am on pot only it has more of a stimulating effect than pot has.
I already knew about the CNS warning because it comes on the written pamplet that is with the medication when you get it.I just wanted some friends advice on this and also to see if anyone else has had any weird side effects.Thanks yall for the advice!!Think I am gonna go take one now.lol!!
then you my dear Eclispe2 are a drug addict and people are dying from using oxy and taking benzos everyday... justify all you want but that is the raw truth.
Im not on any opiates anymore, nor klonopin and all my doctors know whats being prescribed to me and have the list of all my meds, side effects and allergies and so does the pharmacist..and i dont know why you pin pointed me when other people take a benzoid and an opiate too. So dont worry bout me.
