Klonopin (Clonazepam) is killing my workouts

[bluejay]

What is the half life of this stuff? If it has a relatively short one, why not try dosing it earlier in the evening than usual? Possibly this way, by the time you are at the gym it has worn off??

I have Essential Tremor and the doctor has given me Clonazepam to control them. I have to admit it has been great.. but now I am concerned after reading all these comments. I have noticed a slight decrease in my strength in the gym and my ambition to go to the gym which is very odd for me...has anyone else taken it for Essential Tremor?

I was prescribed that 2 years ago when I started having bad panic attacks, but my doc wouldn't only call in 20 at a time of the .5mg. She was conerned about my dependence to it and always pushed me to go to counseling. I never went to counseling and started having bad bad anxiety again so I went to go see her and she gave me an RX again and told me to go to counseling. My first counseling appt is tomorrow... She is definately different than other doctors, as like some of you have said, you've been on for years, and my mom is also prescribed it to help her sleep but I can't get this damn doctor just to give me a refillable prescription. I'm so nervous to go to counseling tomorrow

i take xanax everyday it helps with anxiety from juice hasnt effected my workouts at all prolly addicted tho i take about 2 xanax bars a day

If you're taking it to get off is when it really becomes problematic. If its a valid health issue than you have to do what you have to do, but you need to know the risks.

I could walk into any doctors office and read off the symptoms I'm having and get any medication I wanted. I mean symptoms read off the internet. Don't do this anymore, though.

I take .25mgs of xanax for anxiety. Dr. Gives me like 45 at a time with 3 refills. I dont take it much tho. I couldnt see myself becoming dependent on it.

I take 2 mg of clonazepam before sleep for 1 month. My trainings take place at 18.00 and I realy can feel the differecne - they're not so good as they could be, and the bodyweight is growing very slowly in inspite of I'm taking test 400, deca 300 + HGH, benzos are relaxing muscles so testo is not working properly, for example one of my friends takes some 6mg of clonazepam almost every day + using test 400 and deca 300 for 1 month - I can see minimal changes in his growth, I mean mass and result in gym!
By the whay I've spent a few days without clonazepam - and I could really feel it at my training - It was really intensiv/hard/outstanding till the beging!!!!
So I'm looking forward some pills wich only calms down brain activity at night, not muscle like benzos do.

P.S. Anyway I'ts good to have some extra clonazepam pill in my pocket at worktime, sometimes there are situations when the brain is near to explode (because of all the stuff in the bloog of course) - so this is the situation clona could realy save u an yor career

Just to let you know...
There are only 2 drugs classified as physically addictive, benzo diazapan and alcohol.
Physically addictive by definition means that you can actually die from the withdrawal. Believe it or not drugs like cocaine and heroin are not physically addictive. People do not typically die in withdrawal from these drugs ,they just wish they would.

Speaking from personal experience I would strongly advise that you seek professional help to do this. Do not take this lightly it is far more serious than you know .
Good luck my friend
I do not envy your situation

I was prescribed 4, 1mg Klonopins aday for 2 years, but usually only took 2 after my workout to calm me the fuck down. I felt I wasn't getting the same effect from them after 2 years, So my Dr prescribed me 2, 2mg bars aday as needed, these are so much better and good for sleep as well, so I cut my ambien down from 10mg A night to 5 mg. No problems with workouts, I have tons of energy all day. Good luck Bro.

If meds are taken like they are prescribed than they can be very good at giving people a better quality of life. With that said, I think there is a huge epidemic with many benzos and opiates.

Educating yourself and being honest with your doctor is key. I've battled more than a few addictions.

If anyone ever wants to talk feel free to PM me. I'm NOT a doctor but I might could help someone avoid some mistakes I made.
