Experiences - Clonazepam Experiences

[Psych0naut]

SWIMs experience report has been posted in another thread as well, but because the experience report was about clonazepam, here it is.

SWIM got a few boxes of Rivotril(clonazepam) ampoules for free from a friend who works in a hospital, and even though SWIM found them very nice souvenirs, they weren't very usefull to SWIM because he doesn't IV, and the only way to get full effects out of benzodiazepine ampoules is to inject them intravenously, which SWIM won't do, not even if he got a grand if he did it. But SWIM read the disclaimer that came with each box, and it also said that it can be administered intramusculary. Bingo! SWIM still had some sterile 0,5cc 29G insulin syringes, so he thought, why not. Here is SWIMs experience.

T 22:42 SWIM injects 1cc of solution containing 1mg clonazepam intramusculary. It burns a slight bit, but not too much. Within several seconds SWIM felt his whole body relaxed, he felt like every musle in his body went from normal muscle tension to total relaxation. SWIM says it just can't be placebo, because he felt it so strong, way too strong too be placebo.

T 22:47 Though the muscle relaxing effects where extremely strong and came up almost instantaniously, he doesn't feel a mental wave of relaxation yet. SWIM is more relaxed than he was before injection, but the physical wave of relaxation unfortunenately wasn't followed by a inmediate wave of mental relaxation.

T 22:52 The injection site is starting to hurt a lot more. The clonazepam in SWIMs ampoules is dissolved in a solution which for the biggest part consists of absolute ethanol, and injecting pure ethanol in one's muscle obviously can't be very comfortable. Though it also has a big advantage, it's a good disinfectant, so any bacteria that somehow entered the puncture wound were the needle went in, will probaply be killed by the ethanol.

T 22:57 The mental relaxation was somewhat delayed, but is now getting noticeable. SWIM went for a bike ride on his racing bike earlier on this evening, and after having had a nice shower and put on some clean clothes he already felt relaxed, but it's getting amplified by the clonazepam. SWIM is now definately getting very relaxed, comparable to the relaxation of a medium dose of opioids, which will hopefully, and probaply still increase in the oncoming hour.

T 23:02 SWIM is getting pretty slow and sedated, but sedated in a very pleasant way. The only benzodiazepines SWIM considered euphoric in his experience are Rohypnol(flunitrazepam), and maybe Dormicum(midazolam). No other benzodiazepine had any positive effect on SWIM in medical doses, and made him very sleepy in recreational doses. SWIM has a steady supply of Rivotril in tablet form(the Roche ones), and they didn't had any effect on him either, but this is a completely different league.

T 23:07 The relaxation and sedation have increased lineair from 20 minutes ago to now, and will probaply keep on increasing with the same rate. SWIM can compare this to a medium to high dose of opioids. The same strong relaxation, feeling warm and cozy and content. Benzo's never have been mentally addictive to SWIM, even though he has literally tons of them laying around. But when IM'ing clonazepam, and probaply any other benzo, the addictiveness goes up a whole nother scale, especially for those who already enjoy them (maybe a bit too) much.

T 23:12 Time also seems to fly by, it's already half an hour since SWIM injected his shot of clonazepam, but it feels to him like it was only 10 minutes ago. This is another effect very comparable to opioids for SWIM, he is usually to sedated to watch the time, and everytime he does look up the time it's 5 minutes later or more than he expected it to be.

T 23:17 The sedation and relaxation are still increasing lineair as expected. This is now really feeling like what SWIM expects to feel of a benzo in terms of relaxation. This would be a perfect substance to de-stress with, even better than opioids since they cause a hangover for SWIM. But SWIM also definately sees where the added addictiveness lies with IM'ing benzo's. He will stay off them for as long as possible since he doesn't want a high benzo tolerance, which one will certainly achieve a lot quicker when administering benzodiazepines IM instead of orally.

T 23:22 Before the end of typing the last sentence of T 23:17 SWIM looked up how late is was, and it was already T 23:22. This stuff is really sedating, but in a pleasant way, and really comparable to that off opioids. You don't feel tired, though you will fall asleep easily if you would lay down in bed, but staying awake isn't hard either. It's now 40 minutes after injection and SWIM feels it was only 20 minutes ago.

T 23:32 Sedation has increase even more. A idea for a nice benzo combination just popped up in SWIMs head which he will probaply try out in about 2 weeks, 1mg Rohypnol(flunitrazepam) orally and 1mg clonazepam IM. The euphoria and relaxation, combined with the relaxation and sedation of the IM clonazepam will probaply be a perfect combo.

T 23:42 One hour after injection and SWIM has reached his plateau. SWIM feels very comparably to having taken a good dose of tramadol or some other medium strength opioid like hydrocodone. His legs are glowing of warmth, he is totally relaxed, completely content and at peace, and he feels very cozy. SWIM could never imagine a benzo could be so much like a opioid.

T 23:57 SWIM is indeed on his plateau. He experienced no changes in effects for the last 25 minutes or so. SWIM is listening to some music, Coldplay and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers definately add to the relaxing feeling. SWIM is probaply going to call it a day in 15 minutes, he is slowly getting a bit tired. SWIM is going to ride a big distance on his bike tommorow, so going to bed early would be good for his schedule for tommorow. One thing is certain, SWIM is going to sleep like a rose tonight.

T 00:12 The end of the experience. SWIM is slowly coming of his peak and is looking forward to lay in his soft, warm bed. SWIM is still feeling pretty cozy and content, and still very relaxed, though the relaxation is the first effect that seems to be subsiding. SWIM is very happy he tried IM'ing one of those cute little Rivotril amps, because it was a very nice experience he definately wishes to repeat in a while. Of to bed now, good night.

Disclaimer: SWIM injected a sterile solution from a medical vial. Never inject any pills, let alone benzodiazepines.
