Is it safe to take klonopine while on the fentanyl patch? my dose is 50 mcg
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and No: It is always dangerous to mix any morphine or opioid-related medicine and a benzo like Klonopin (clonazepam). They both suppress respiratory drive and thus patients die when their brain no longer tells them to breath when asleep. The risk can be mitigated by careful dosing, gradual changes, close management by an attentive physician, and avoidance of other CNS depressants. Please be careful
