So I take 0.5mg daily of Klonopin for Panic Disorder. I normally take it before bed, but I skipped my dose last night because I took a teaspoon of antihistamines for some allergies I've been experiencing this week.

Well, I ended up taking another teaspoon of antihistamines this afternoon (1:00 P.M.). I'd like to know when is it safe to take my klonopin dose again. I'm just worried about the two combining effects since they are both depressants of the nervous system. It has been now 8 hours since I took the last dose of antihistamines and am already feeling a bit on edge from my anxiety disorder and would really like to take my benzo, as it has been close to 48 hours since my last dose. Not doing it until I'm absolutely certain though.

Anyone have any experience with the matter?

It probably wouldn't be an issue, but I'm not certified. Still, if you're having issues that require antihistamines, benzos often trigger that.

don't ask CE for med advice. ask your GP.
i suffer from a great deal of MH issues which i'm medicated for and .5 of clonazepam won't hurt you in any circumstances really lol. go ahead.
but srsly ask your doctor.

Pharmacist here. I'm not in the least bit concerned. You're on a low dose of clonazepam and I'm assuming you're taking benadryl? And I believe a teaspoon is 25 mg, which eight hours later likely isn't even in your system (in significant amounts anyway).

I'm 100% okay with you taking your clonazepam.

You're a moderator on gamefaqs which is one of the lowest functioning groups on the internet, and you expect us to believe you're a pharmacist?

lulz.

Hey! Just wanted to check in! Did everything go okay?


Yes! Everything went fine, just took my klonopin and went to bed. My allergies are clearing up as well, so I stopped taking the antihistamines. Thanks again, man.

You're fine. .5 mg of Klonopin isn't going to interact with your antihistamine. I take 20 MG of Diazepam a day. Used to take Klonopin and Ativan too.

Not everyone has an addictive personality, and as someone who suffers from Panic Disorder, they are quite possibly literally saving his life right now.

and I'm sitting here wanting to get on them >_> I've had access to small amounts of diazepam at a time and whenever I use them I'm able to prioritize what I waste my mental energy on to more positive things.

This just just 5mg 4 hours before bed as well, though when I get drunk I'll take 15-20mg to calm me down at times.

Well it's physically addicting so he's going to get addicted whether he likes it or not.

Abusing your meds is a different story. He's not taking them to get high and neither am I with my Valium. I also have Panic Disorder.

I can't imagine Valium "getting you high", I can just imagine taking too much too often because you think that you will get high. I can't tell the difference between 5mg and 20mg when I take it, it's just that I think maybe it'll work even more if I take 20mg.

Naw Diazepam like all benzos can trigger your dopamine system.

I think just having one makes my brain go "everything is going to be ok" and it doesn't seem to get any more ok with taking more, but I'm not naive to say it doesn't make a difference.

It's an addicting substance regardless of your personality type.
