Question 1

took dulcolax and having diarrhea. i take a beta blocker and blood thinners as well as klonopin. i had diarrhea a little less than one hour after taking one dose. did it get absorbed ?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, those medications are absorbed in the intestines and dulcolax has its effect in the colon which has nothing to do with food and medication absorption. Take care!

Question 2

can klonopin (clonazepam) your blood pressure ?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: Your question is incomplete.  Klonopin (clonazepam) may lower your blood pressure as it may reduce anxiety.  It is not a blood pressure medication, however.

Question 3

can xanax (alprazolam) or klonopin raise blood calcium levels?

Accepted Answer

There's no reason: There's no reason to think that either of those medications would do that as far as I've ever heard. I suppose you could ask a pharmacist.

Question 4

does taking .25 of klonopin (clonazepam)  3x daily make sense to keep an even state in your blood stream...

Accepted Answer

Not as good as.....: ....following your doctor's advice on exactly how you should be dosing this medication since they know WHY you're taking it and how best you should be administering it to get the effects the doctor wants you to have.

Question 5

i am 25 female taking 1mg klonopin a day for 4 years i have cut back klonopin too 0.5mg a day and now have blood pressure of 136 over 98 could this high blood pressure be from cutting back and how can i treat this?

Accepted Answer

: Lacking  reason for klonopin, and being unaware of why you are tapering makes it unfeasible to be precise.  Would suggest your blood pressure issues be addressed by your doctor, not you alone.  Doubt the main mechanism is the klonopin dosing, but this too can be addressed by your doctor.  Highly recommend close coordination.

Question 6

i take 2 mg /d of klonopin. ive had multiple drug urine and blood tests which are always negative for benzos. why is this? does klonopin not show up in urine ? ive been prescribed klonopin at this dose for 4 years now and alwyas negative?

Accepted Answer

: The drug test is done by measuring oxazepam- a drug breakdown product in urine. klonopin does not do that. so the test is negative

Question 7

what does long term use of klonopin do too blood vessels?

Accepted Answer

: Nothing I could think of but you should not take it for a long time because of its addictive effect.

Question 8

how long does it take for klonopin (clonazepam) to not be detected in blood test during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Quite a while: The half life of this drug is 20-50 hours, which is the time for half of it to be excreted.

Question 9

how long will it take 1.5 mg of klonopin to get out of my blood?

Accepted Answer

Four days: The answer is four 1/2 lives... taken from a pharmacology website: “After 4 half-lives the amount of drug (6.25%) is considered to be negligible regarding its therapeutic effects”.

Given that Klonopin doesn’t have major active metabolites, and the ‘average ‘ one-day 1/2 life of Klonopin (though some texts cite 20-80 hours, there’s no way it’s anywhere near 80 hours in real-world practice

Question 10

can klonopin cause blood clots or heart problems?

Accepted Answer

: Am unaware of any reliable research confirming any coagulation or clotting difficulties with routine use of clonazepam.  Cardiac issues would be secondary to an overdose.
