In reply to Klonopin and Adderall: Dosing question., posted by sgoose on July 9, 2004, at 1:31:57
> I take 1mg Klonopin twice daily (once when i wake and one in the evening) plus 20mg Adderall XR + 5 or 10mg Dexedrine when I first wake to get up. I want some feedback from people who are or have taken a Klonopin/stimulant combo and what different timing of doses did to the effectiveness of the meds. Right now I'm having a very hard time waking before 12 and lucky to get up before 1. Could it be that I'm not getting to a restful place in my sleep so my body keeps going trying to get there?

> sgoosehello there, chemist here.....i have been down the road you're on, and it sounds to me like your ``day'' got shifted, most likely to gradual taking your stimulants later and later still...your body *thinks* bedtime is 3 or 4 a.m., so awakening at noon - and with the klonopin still on board from the ``night'' before to add to the grogginess - makes sense. i periodically have shifts that last for weeks, almost invariably due to deadlines/work stuff. i get back on track by dumping the stimulant and briefly bumping the benzo and simply set the alarm clock for 5:30 a.m. and go to bed at 11 p.m. usually, i am back to ``normal'' in 2-3 days. again, just my guess as to what has happened in your case and my opinion on how to correct. all the best, chemist
