In reply to Klonopin + Dexedrine????, posted by Carlos on March 30, 2002, at 3:54:36

Dexedrine seems to give me lots of energy, but I don't want to go outside and interact and stuff. Since Klonopin knocks me out, I've only taken it about 4 times, and only at night. I just recently found out it has a really long half-life (16+ hours) So does this mean if i take it at night, the "effects" will still be there the next day?Hi Carlos,
I used to set my alarm clock an hour before I wanted to wake up, take my Adderall (dexedrine like), and then wake up and hour later after the Adderall kicked in. The Klonopin just knocked me out so bad. but I was taking 1 mg 3x a day of Klonopin. I would guess if you just take it at night, it may be out of your system by mid day the next day, but only you could tell.
A lot of people have tried to do a dexedrine/klonopin balance game, and it does work well if you can get the ratios correct. But you may be playing with fire in terms of dealing with 2 habit forming substances and using their side effects to offset one another (just my opinion).
Best Regards,
John
