> My experience is that smoking only seems to negate the theraputic effects of Klono for like 5-10 mins. after I smoke. Smoke about 1/2 pack a day. Really no probs.....besides the fact of course its ridiculously expensive, it stinks, and its bad for you-but thats besides the point...;)
> love my Marlboro Lights!
Hello,I too smoke Marlboro Lights. I take Xanax, but only a small sleeping dose at night. You are both correct. The stimulants, such as nicotine, or caffeine, or Adderal etc... will all decrease the effectiveness of the Klonopin a bit. But, this is a very powerful antianxiety medication, as is Xanax. In my experience, I actully find that mixing a stimulant like nicotine with the benzo. after you take it will make you feel great! Nothing will overpower either Xanax or Klonopin. They are too effective. Especially at only a half pack a day. That is what I smoke too. You should have nothing to worry about.
