Skin Contact with Klonopin 0.125mg Disintegrating Tablet

[[Ab...]]

Now, I'm probably being really paranoid about this, but, I just wanted to hear opinions from others. I briefly touched a 0.125mg Clonazepam disintegrating tablet while throwing old medication away and powder made contact with my fingers for a couple of seconds. It's been 30 months since I finished my taper, yet I still am in withdrawal. I'm at the point to where I get strong, short lived waves if there is a cause, not so much just a random thing anymore. Anyways, I wanted to know if this skin contact could do something? I immediately washed it off my skin, and it wasn't a whole lot of powder. My hands were pretty dry, even though I had recently come out of the shower. I heard that orally disintegrating tablets could potentially go through the skin. I'm not sure if that means just a small amount and for such a brief moment of time could do anything.

Klonopin isn't soluable in water so even if your hands were wet I don't think you could have absorbed anything.  I think it is highly unlikely. 

 

Perhaps one of the science experts will drop by and weigh in.

My opinion = Slim to none.

In any case, there are many people who've needed to take a benzo post-taper for, say, a medical procedure ... with no repercussion.

Sounds like you're doing really well otherwise, nice to hear!

Thank you two for the responses. I had a feeling that would be the case. I guess I just wanted to ease my nerves a bit. I've been doing alright, except I can't go outside much due temperature sensitivity causing anxiety. It's always in the 100s down here. I also can't eat a lot of foods, and right now I think I have gastritis making that list of foods much smaller, but otherwise, it's not a living hell everyday. I just fear for having it all come back due to taking in that poison, even if it's just with a touch.

I know heat intolerance appears to be a problem for many members.  Sorry about the food limitations and possible gastritis but, hey, Not a living hell every day sounds awesome ... maybe you'll be back in a few months with your success story?    Will keep fingers crossed for you.

Not worth stressing yourself out over nothing in the meantime.  Seriously.  Chances are you probably only touched the filler materials anyway.

I sure hope so. I'm still housebound for the most part. Outside environments are a bit too much sometimes. Usually it's because of the heat, or because of the stress, or one thing or another. I sure hope I'm close to a success story. I've been sick for 30+ months now, and I figured it would be over by now. I heard that this isn't uncommon, though. 3-4 years being what a lot of people reported as their entirety being sick.
