Help needed... Clonezepam levels?

 I'm really hoping that someone will take the time to help me out with an answer here! I'm quite concerned!  I have been going through a lot recently (  my son has seizures at times and other serious medical issues, long story) and I have increased my dosage for the past two weeks a  significant amount… I am concerned because although I have been decreasing my dose for the past few days I go in and see my doctor in five days.  My doctor sends my UA screens to a very advanced lab. Do they test for Kpin levels at such a lab?  From the research I have done, I believe they do.  And they do test for clonazepam, I have heard rumors that it does not come up on a UA screen but that is not the case with my doctor and the lab he uses. I've been on this medication for over a decade, I've never had to worry about it before… But now I'm nervous.  Someone mentioned something about a particular SSRI working well for anxiety? I don't remember everything that my doctor has given me, I know that he has tried an SSRI, a beta blocker and a few others. If anyone has any information on a medication that would help  with anxiety and panic attacks it would be greatly appreciated.  I'm with a new hard-ass doctor and I know that his end goal is to detox me completely. My dose has been decreased every other month and it's getting down to being such a low dose that I ended up here on this forum just to get by.  I was dropped from 3 mg per day to .5 per day in a matter of a few months after being on the same dose for a very long time.  If there is something else that I can take that would help with my symptoms, I would be all for trying it. I also know that I am going to have to go through a process of detox… I'm not too excited about that prospect.  I don't think anything can help with that process but tapering and toughing it out.   I have been decreasing on my other medication, suboxone,  for the past year and I'm down to about 1/8 of the dose that I was on a year ago.  I'm getting close to being off… I greatly look forward to that day.  Once I am finally free of the Suboxone, I'll be able to get anti-anxiety medication without a doctor freaking out about the drug interaction issue. 


 But back to my original question, does anyone have any information on how accurate and intensive labs are when looking at drug levels such as clonezepam?  Will five or six days at my normal dose (or close) be enough to give me a regular (or close)  UA result? If it's a little bit high, it's fine… I just don't want to get some crazy result that makes it look like I've been taking a crapload of this medication.  Which, to be honest, for about 2 weeks I took quite a bit!  The funny thing is, it didn't even seem to help… I thought it would, but it didn't seem to lessen my anxiety as much as I thought it would  when I took extra.  It did turn me into a moody witch! I was shocked about that.  I think all I ended up doing was increasing my tolerance. Lesson learned!  Any info would be appreciated on the subject. Thank you! 
PS-  and I know this is a stupid question, but clonazepam is all the same, correct? Regardless of brand or origin, the drug is the same ingredient wise. US generic has the same ingredients as Roche Kpins… Correct?  I have never taken anything except for my prescribed medication before, so I figured better safe than sorry and I would ask. 
 Excuse any typos!

Well I postponed my appointment and my levels should be within normal range by then. Maybe I posted this in the wrong section. I don't seem to get replies to my posts. 

 
Hello Jam1976 i know everyone's bodies different but I've been on .5 mg Clonazepam for only about 6 months but every UA screen I've done( once a week)  and i take 3 a day and  it only has shown up one time and the reading was still under the nl. I know that that particular benzo is the hardest to detect and Read levels for than any other benzos because the liver dicretes the metabolites so quickly so with at being said ibelieve you'll be alright if it were me i wouldn't worry about it .please let me know how u make out good luck.

Omg thank you!!!! I was taking a LOT more than prescribed... but I have slowed down. And I don't know that it makes a huge difference , but I am very small and petite, athletic and I've been doing a three day cleanse.  I've went on 36 hour fast and then merged into a ketogenic diet and I've been drinking a lot of water (but not too much!)along with doing a ton of yoga and cardio. I'm pretty healthy, so I think that should help me.  I had received some Roach Ks from across the border ( highly recommended vendors) that felt really weird to me, I stopped them a while ago… They make me feel different than normal clonez does.  I'm actually tempted to go get a home drug test just to make sure there weren't any added ingredients,  like other forms of benzodiazepines  that can stay in your system for up to a month....but I'm probably just being paranoid.  But with my doctor, if you met him, you'd understand why!  I look forward to someday not living in such a rural area and having more options when it comes to doctors and such. 

 Thank you for your response!  It means a lot to me that someone actually took the time to reply. Thank you! 

 
@Jam1976, I found in the past that Mirtazipine is quite effective for anxiety and sleep. Especially the lowest dose of 15mg.

I believe the equivalent dose is 40mg of valerie per 2mg cl0naz@z. But as you know, each med iggggn this class tends to have a main specific purpose

Yer, I prefer 15mg Mirtaz for sleeping (over Di@z ), but it suppresses my appetite and slows my metabolism.

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
