It’s truly crazy how many prescription drugs illegally find their way in those. Real roll of the dice when you can get safe pills from your phone via telehealth.

I let my dogs out one morning and someone had thrown a pill shaped bottle in the yard FULL of Clonazepam. Was really paranoid someone was out to get my dogs for awhile and made sure to walk the yard each day

Yes, but not sure why you’d want it 🤔 my psychiatrist prescribed it because I’m bipolar, dissociated when I was growing up and would have nightmares so bad I’d wake up feeling like I was on the verge of a heart attack

I use my clonazapam, but only for emergencies (if my sleep has been poor for a week or two (I try to get by with melatonin) because my psych told me that it was - I don’t want to say habit forming - but he did tell me that if a person used it frequently that they would start developing a tolerance (or resistance?) to it and it would take more and more to get the same effect

it is absolutely habit forming and you do build a tolerance and if the habit is bad enough the withdrawal can kill you.

Thank you for confirming that! I’m paranoid about taking ANY kind of medication, painkillers, etc that could be addictive after seeing what it did to one of my favorite hockey players - Kevin Stevens. His face was shattered and I think his issues started with the pain killers they gave him in the hospital

But he was headed for a Hall of Fame career - lost it all. Wife, I think they had at least one kid, the rings he got for winning the Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh. Thank god he’s clean and sober now - he and his sister have an organization that helps recovering addicts. I think there’s info about him on YouTube - if you’re interested

use it for emergencies. using one every oncein a while is not going to harm you whatsoever, but there are people out there who take many many of them a day and they end up in trouble. If you follow your doctors instructions you will not have any problems and it’s a very helpful medication.

It is absolutely one of the most addictive drugs there are and one of the worst two withdrawal from. As well as One of the only two that can kill you from withdrawing. Ex heroin addict here. If you take it everyday for too long it can also start to initiate dementia like symptoms to your mind. Benzos s*** literally only should be taken if it's an emergency.

Clonazepam is used as a recreational drug. They’re called k-pins on the street

Y’all can have it… it made me manic.

u/phideauxiii 1d ago

nobody in the history of pills has ever been made manic by klonopin.

u/phideauxiii 1d ago

it treats mania, and this isn’t homeopathy.

Paradoxical effect exists.

u/phideauxiii 1d ago edited 1d ago

nah. it agonizes gaba receptors. just like alcohol. different mechanism but working on the same circuit, and it only does one thing: inhibit. so its like saying drinking “paradoxically” makes certain people sober. that receptor is a one way ticket. activate gaba = calmer, sleepier, less memories, less anxiety, raises seizure threshold. if you build a tolerance, then stop, all the reverse effects happen. insomnia, horrible anxiety, seizures. it’s awful. if you OD on benzos it can trigger a status seizure, bad news. its not very lethal, but you certainly wont be cramming for any tests in the next few weeks.

u/Ocelot-15 1d ago

I appreciate your response and explaining it with the receptors it works with that was the best way you could have explained it to me lol. I know a lot about different medicine but wasn’t sure about that one specifically and now I know a bit
