does anyone know - roughly - how long it takes for the body to become dependent on klonopin?

It's pretty fast.  He might experience some minor withdrawal symptoms after a week, but I think it takes more like a month or two before you are addicted.  Plus, if hes only taking 1mg it would be pretty easy to cut that back to 1/2mg per day then 1/2 every other day then none.  After a couple of months though it is a nightmare.

Is that the only symptom? After my father died, it was a stressful time, I started having panic attacks. I was told that AFTER a bad time is usually when they might appear. And out of nowhere. I worked with someone once and she had them too.  I said "man, you feel like you're going to die" and she said "no, you KNOW you are going to die" -- her husband took her to ER everytime. Mine were about 3 times a day - got hooked on Xanax but it worked. Had to get help to get off of it.  If the panic came back, I would chance that addiction again. I went to counseling which lessened the fear but not the feelings. Mine would happen in the car a lot. Like at a stop sign. My foot would shake badly on the brake and I would almost just go through. I felt like I was "melting" into the seat (oh, not afraid to drive either so that wasn't it), my heart would race. It's too many bad feelings at once. This is one of those things I swear - no one would understand unless they went through it. Mine lasted about 5 years.  My heart goes out to you if this is happening. But see your doctor. They aren't so prone to giving out Xanax anymore though. I guess I understand but it helped me big time. I was able to cope and go to work.

24 hours - you won't feel the effects after 6-10, but it will still be in your system for atleast 24.

I have personally seen many people who have complained of hair loss from Klonopin. Many of the anticonvulsant medications have this unfortunate side effect. In many cases in four to six weeks after stopping the loss stops.

Assuming you have normal liver and kidney function, and you're not taking any drugs that significantly alter drug metabolism, the Lortabs have a duration of action of 4-6 hours, but can be detected on a drug test for 3-6 days.  Xanax has a duration of about 8 hours, and can be detected for a week or two, longer if you're a chronic user.  Adderall has a duration of action of 4-8 hours, and clears the system and is undetecable in 2-4 days.

Ive taken zoloft for years.  Missing one dose has caused a lot of problems with me and my emotional state.  It isnt good to do that because you throuw your whole system off for weeks, and that is why they say that prescriptions usually take 4-6 weeks to kick in or whatever time frame:  so that your body can get used to it, and the inhibitors within the drug can take it's sweet time to effect your brain and fill in the chemical imbalances.  I also take thyroid pills and I get knocked off course if I miss one dose, and it lasts a couple weeks for me (even if I continue taking it again) to even get back to normal, and I feel down and depresed the entire time.  it isnt worth it, try your hardest to remember to take them, especially zoloft, you dont want to continue feeling miserable until your body gets back on course, do you?  That is why you are taking them in the first place.  Ty and think of ways you can remember to take them, I have so many pills it's gotten easier for me to remember, but missing a dose can really mess up your mind and cause your body to slow down with whatever is going on that you need it.  Good luck, Ive been in the same boat for 12 years

A little time maybe, but then (it depends on the drug) it comes to a point where you take the drug only cuz you need to to avoid withdrawals (and they can be VERY BAD) and your not enjoying any high,unless you increase the amount, and even then it's really a no-win situation.

3-5 days, maximum...But let me tell you something, do a search for:  Faces Of Meth on the net.  They are no joke.  Sure you might piss clean after a few days.  But if you keep screwing around with meth, not only will you not care about any more urine screens but it won't even matter because the meth will show up VISUALLY all over your face and body.  I've seen it on everybody that I know that uses the junk...it's because the ingrediants are so toxic that not only does it poison your brain, but it totally breaks down your body.  Hopefully you will stop using that sh*t, if not then I, along with most other people, won't even respect you enough to answer your questions seriously anymore.  Meth addicts are a total waste of space.  Do your brain, body, and face a favor and quit that shit.

Well you'll need to go to a doctor.  I had the same symptoms many years ago.  They put me on Prosac and ever since I've been fine.  It's the Seretonin in your brain that's out of wack.  Once on the meds, it should take about one week or so to start feeling better.  It does work and it's great.

Usually 23 to 24 hours.\nTakes that long for the gases in the body to build up enough to refloat.

It depends on what they use and how much. I've seen people come awake 10-15 minutes after an operation. I've also seen them keep a friend under for 8 days. This was so he wouldn't move and start internal bleeding again. You need to talk with the doctor about this.

I'd call the doctor that prescribed it initially.  If not by prescription, then I'd detox myself slowly, perhaps taking 75% of it daily for a few days, then 50%, then 25%, then at timely intervals.  You can beat it!  I was once addicted to Valium and alcohol and detoxed myself a lot of times.

It depends on the person, and how many symptoms appear. I knew a gentleman who had it for years, and then like almost overnight,...all kinds of illness appeared, and then he was on a 'cocktail' of prescriptions, poor man.

It may help with your anxiety but will more likely cause more problems than it's work. Dependence is a HUGE side effect of all benzo-tranquilizers.

It usually takes 72 hours however I dont no if taking that much will prolong it in your system. try drinking alot of water and wait a few days before taking anymore.

don't listen to these jackasses.\n\nBenzodiazepines Short-term Therapeutic Use:  1 to 5 days (since you only took half I would assume you're fine.)\nLong-term / Chronic Use:  1 to 3 weeks
