Klonopin on cycle

Maxxlift · Sep 20, 2009

How much of a effect would it have on cycle? I know its a muscle relaxer to an extent but and I'm trying to ween off of it now with a very low dose of .5mg

Clonzepam is mainly used as an anti-anxiety med, but could be used for other treatments. .5mg is a low dose and I don't see any reason why it would effect your gains, although, benzo's can cause people to crave junk food. So as long as diet stays in check I don't see any reason why it would hinder any gains.

Are these prescribed to you or are you getting them by other means? Get off as soon as you can bro, taper your doses. I had a friend who had a serious addiction to benzo's and the withdrawal is no joke. You can actually die from it. Good luck

I got a script for them but I used to be on xanax which I hated because of having to up the dosages to feel it working. then I told the doc I wanted to switch to klonopin for the sake of tapering and that's what Ive been doing since. I definitely know first hand the effects of withdrawal and they are the worse than anything I can imagine. I never craved junked food on it. The only thing that makes me crave it is alcohol but as you can see its a Saturday and I'm at home since a cycle is upon me lol

Right on bro, yeah keep the alcohol to a min. on cycle obviously. But I'm sure you also know benzo's and alcohol in fairly high amounts = not good. So stay focused while on and taper while on. It should help keep your mind off of it and help you get off that shit. Keep us posted

Benzos

About 20 years ago I saw a study about Valiums effect on pregnant women. It had a negative effect on the muscle growth of the fetus. They advised women not to take Valium while pregnant. It possibly could have some effect on adults also. Maybe Xanax might be different.

In my experience at that dosage not much of an effect. Personally the only effect is when trying to cut, hard to get in ketosis while on benzodiazapenes for me and makes my whole system a bit slow to respond to carb restriction of any sort.

I just got prescribed this also due to anxiety (not cycling). I could not sleep and only take 1/2 pill (.5mg) at night before bed. Was using atavan. It works very well imo seems to shut my mind down so i can sleep. I cannot see taking it during the day for me (too sleepy). If you can use it as needed to calm you down on cycle that would help and maybe even lower BP.
