Posted on Mon, 7 Apr 2014
Question: I just had a medication change, I take klonopin 1mg during day, 2mg at night. Along with 60mg of Adderall. My pdoc has switched me from 50mg of Seroquel at night for sleep to zyprexa 10mg. Is this a XXXXXXX amount of zyprexa combined with klonopin?

Brief Answer: It should be fine Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. You have been on 1mg clonazepam in the day and 2mg of the same at night. And I further suppose you have been taking them since long. Over a period of time, our body become tolerant to benzodiazepines and the effects are not that prominent. Still I understand your concerns. Most probably every thing should be fine. At our cetre patients are routinely prescribed 20mg of zyprexa with 2mg of klonopin and we dont see much adverse drug effects. You may take the drug as advised by your psychiatrist. Worst come worst you may develop extra sedation with the drug. Then the medication dose can be altered. There would be no permanent or serious adverse effects in most certainty. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
