Deadly would be: An exaggeration. However should Avoid opiate narcotics when using benzodiazepines. In an ideal world. Not a good idea to miX the two. Would certainly not increase dose of either. And would be looking fit alternative a to treating your pain and anxiety

True.: Klonopin is a long-acting benzodiazepine and Oxycodone is a long-acting opiate and can depress the respiratory function . They are also both habit-forming. The Cymbalta (duloxetine) will also help with neuropathic pain and instead of increasing the opiate if your pain is still not controlled adding Gabapentin might help. Your PCP could also refer you to a pain center for other pain control measures.
