My Doctor has me on Klonopin 1mg . time's 2 daily . Also Along with Oxycotin 20mg prn. I have seen so many scary video's and people's statement's about mixing the two med's ( I wonder if im having a Panic Attack by reading these statement's and watching these Video's ) That Im Scared too take Both together ... And my Doctor wrote it out for me ...
Is it safe to take Klonopin and Oxycontin together?

I was on 4 - 80 milligram Oxycontin for inoperable torn rotary cuffs and on 4 - 2 milligram Klonopin for four years and never had a problem

My current psychiatrist says since Dec 2016 a warning ("red-box" or "black-box" alert) is now accompanying the prescribing data - to use caution when prescribing to patients who use Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, or Oxycontin. He says there is a risk of going to sleep and not waking. Since I use Oxycodone for Fibromyalgia pain, he will no longer prescribe Klonopin for me, for any reason. I think he is a little too cautious though.

Did he wean you off Kolonopin? I've been on it for 3 years and I'm tapering off. Went from 3 mg a day a year ago to .75 mg a day. Friday I went to the doctor and he moved moved me from Norco 10mg to Oxycodone 30 mg. He told me to taper off of the Kolonopin and take it as needed for a few weeks. I misunderstood him and stored completely. Bad mistake. Today I was at work and had a total panic attack. Had to go to the hospital. The ER doctor said it was a bad mistake. She wants me to taper off quickly. I'm scared to take them both together now. Any advice?

Interactions between your selected drugs
clonazepam ↔ oxycodone
Applies to: Klonopin (clonazepam), OxyContin (oxycodone)
MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

yes I kinda was in a anxiety attack-panic attack when typing back to Mel , the thing is I have been on alprazolam for many year's , and yes you are correct . Klonopin and Xanax are both Benzo's , and yes Xanax doe's hit you body alot faster than Klonopin . The thing with Klonopin seem's too myself Only is that on my behalf Clonazepam is working in a total different manner on myself . Klonopin seem's too cause myself stiffness to the body , and seem's to have alot of Adverse side effect's that Alprazolam = Xanax doe's not ... Klonopin has me on the edge of some weird feeling's... Not Death , but it's just hard too explain how Klonopin on this medication effect's myself .
What im trying too get across is that I have been on so many Benzo's in my life , that it's hard too count them all , But Klonopin take's the cake , Klonopin im thinking is not the right Benzo for me , and I keep telling my doctor that , but he seem's too have his head somewhere else . As noted yes , maybe I need too find another doctor soon before this Klonopin doe's get me in the long run . There are different Benzo's out there as you noted , But as far as Activan = Lorazepam , this Benzo is also used for somewhat some depression also... Read up up that med ( Lorazepam ) activan , Im aware of this medication because it had about the same side effect's as Klonpin ... Weird but that's how both of these Benzo's effect me...
So Please do not think im in here trying too piss someone off ... Im looking for answer's , but this site doe's not look like tthe right site , and I do not like people who type back too myself saying that more less im being a smart ass ... So put that in you pipe and smoke that comment ... People like you well make me sicker than heck . If a Person can't respond without a Smartazz jumping in wanting too think he /she knows more than anyone else , I just dont need your response ... Yes , go ahead and report this comment if you want ... But do not ever type back too me and tell me that I was jumping all over Mellon ... Mellon tried too help , and what do you do ? You come back with as smartazz remark as if I was jumping on Mellon ... so take your opion and your Benzo's , and leave me the hell alone ... And learn your damn benzo's , because it doesnt look like you know alot about him mr or miss or ms hero ... Klonopin make's you probably high , that's why you use it??? >? probably high when you responded to the comment ??? I ponder about people like you!!! some keep your comment's too yourself , and I will do the same thing

My name is not Mellon, and another thing, how dare you give shite to maso when he is one of THE MOST CARING INDIVIDUALS that you or anyone else would have the fortune to come into contact with.

Hey Alan: I take three times as much Oxy as you do, and breakthough meds too. I can also take up to three mg. of klonopin and two mg. of Xanax if I need. I usually don't. The scary thing is I still can't sleep, and I'm not even dopy taking them all!! You told sweetlemon that Xanax is different from Klonopin, but they are basically the same. It just is a matter of how quickly they act, (Xanax having a very short half life of four to six hours, and Klonopin having a half life of 18 hours. Also in the benzodiazepine family is Ativan, and Valium, etc. They all are quicker, stronger, shorter acting, longer acting, etc. Hope that this answers your questions.

Hi alan941,
I was on prescribed Oxy and Xanax at the same time. It didn't hurt me, I am still alive! I may get some flack for this, but if your doc says tis OK, than take the smallest dose of benzo that you can.
You should be fine. Let us know how it goes.

Allan,
I did not think you were the least bit rude! And you are most welcome, although I think your chemist/pharmacist helped you more than I.
Good luck, and hope you are feeling great,
