klonopin and prilosec

[DoubleAron]

I've been having extreme heartburn indegestion lately. I was going to take a months treatment of prilosec, but I was reading on that it might have a interaction with benzos. The doctor gave me a script for it, but after reading that I'm a little concerned about mixig the drugs. Does anybody take the two together and if so have you had any ill side effects?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Aaron.  I take klonopin and nexium together and have no problems.  Nexium and prilosec are both proton pump inhibitors and I believe work the same way.  But to be safe make sure your Dr. knows you take both.

Proton Pump Inhibitors are not a problem. Avoid Histamine II blockers, such as Tagamet. Histamine II blockers inhibit the liver enzyme P450, which also play a large role in Benzodiazepine metabolization. The only exception to this rule is Lorazepam (Ativan), which has no bearing on enzyme P450.

I have a question for you.  I need every single piece of information you have on Klonopin.  Please, write it ALL out for me.  I don't want to browse the archives.  I want you to type it ALL out for the ten thousandth time! (J/K)

What the hell is Klonopin? (lol)

Hope you are well!

Klonopin will leave your teeth *sparkling* white and your breath *minty* fresh.  But it is EQUAL in potency to Xanax.  (My bad)  

I am well but should get to bed since I have to be up at 5:30 a.m.  Hope you are well too.  Keep laughing or should I say "lol-ing".

Okay, I see.  Excellent post Rainne9.  LOL !   I should have read around before asking such a common question.  Sorry about that Ryan.
