Clonazolam
Basic Information
Summary
A long lasting benzodiazepine with heavily hypnotic effects. The safety profile is not well established, and there have been reports that people taking it three days in a row have had a seizure. Most comparable to Triazolam, but with a much longer half-life.
Benzodiazepine
Benzodiazepines are generally hypnotic or anxiolytic depressant drugs.
Read more on TripSit Wiki...Research Chemical
Research chemicals are drugs with relatively little history of human use, and thus particular care should be taken if choosing to ingest them.
Read more on TripSit Wiki...Habit-forming
These drugs pose a higher risk of causing habit forming behaviour, take particular care with the amount and frequency they are taken.
Read more on TripSit Wiki...Depressant
Depressants are drugs which reduce arousal and stimulation in the user, characterised by a depressing of mental and physical functions.

Common drugs are those which are well known and widely used among the drug community. This doesn't necessarily mean they are safe, but it usually comes with a longer relative history of use in humans with which to establish a safety profile.

Interactions
Dangerous
- Alcohol
- Ethanol ingestion may potentiate the CNS effects of many benzodiazepines. The two substances potentiate each other strongly and unpredictably, very rapidly leading to unconsciousness. While unconscious, vomit aspiration is a risk if not placed in the recovery position. Blacking out and memory loss is almost certain.
- GHB/GBL
- The two substances potentiate each other strongly and unpredictably, very rapidly leading to unconsciousness. While unconscious, vomit aspiration is a risk if not placed in the recovery position.
- Opioids
- Central nervous system and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically present. The two substances potentiate each other strongly and unpredictably, very rapidly leading to unconsciousness. While unconscious, vomit aspiration is a risk if not placed in the recovery position Blackouts/memory loss likely
- Tramadol
- Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically present. Vomit aspiration a risk when passed out, lay down in recovery position if ingested.
Caution
- Ketamine
- Both substances potentiate the ataxia and sedation caused by the other and can lead to unexpected loss of consciousness at high doses. While unconscious, vomit aspiration is a risk if not placed in the recovery position.
- MXE
- Both substances potentiate the ataxia and sedation caused by the other and can lead to unexpected loss of consciousness at high doses. Place affected patients in the recovery position to prevent vomit aspiration from excess.
- DXM
- Small doses of benzos can end a bad trip, but both substances potentiate the ataxia and sedation caused by the other and this can lead to unexpected loss of consciousness at high doses. While unconscious, vomit aspiration is a risk if not placed in the recovery position.
Unsafe
- PCP
- Both substances potentiate the ataxia and sedation caused by the other and can lead to unexpected loss of consciousness at high doses. While unconscious, vomit aspiration is a risk if not placed in the recovery position. Memory blackouts are likely
