Will Changing From Xanax To Klonopin Causes Drug Interactions?
I take 30 mg oxycodone hcl , 2x daily, I take 1 30mg adderall not xr daily, 50mg methadone daily, 3 mg of xanex daily. I was in a severe car accident and then right after I crashed a motorcycle into a car and smashed my knee. The Dr. Is contemplating changing me from xanex to clonzapin. 1mg. Will there be any drug interactions I should be worried about?

Hello
Welcome here.
Changing from xanax to klonopin will not cause any drug interaction because both the drugs belong to same class of drugs and have same mechanism of action.
There is not much sense in changing from xanax to klonopin. Rather its better to increase the dose of xanax if the desirable effects are not achieved at given dose.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
