Klonopin And Gluten?

[Guest BERNESES]

Hi Everyone- I've looked high and low and can't seem to find klonopin (clonazepam- it's an anti anxiety drug) on any gluten-free drug list. Does anyone know for sure? I'm assuming it DOES have gluten in it? Thanks, Beverly

I don't know the answer to your question, but what I've done in the past is just call your pharmisist and they can call the company and find out.

It is not on my lists of gluten free meds. Just because it is not on there does not mean that it has gluten. The best thing to do is call the manufacturer. Never assume anything with gluten. It's best to check if you do not know.

It made me sick so I stopped taking it. Just wean yourself off it, I went cold turkey because I didn't know any better and the withdrawl was awful.

Hope it helps

Yeah, that's not a fun one to go cold turkey on. I did the same, four days of hell!

I don't know whether or not it's gluten-free but if it isn't, go slowly...

Thanks everyone- I just found out that the comapny that produces my klonopin uses corn starch. They do not use WRBO. Yippee! Because getting off this stuff is a nightmare- you have to go really slowly and even that is not fun.

Corn starch is gluten free isn’t it? I just googled that, and it is broken down from a part of the corn, then ground down into a powder.

If the corn isn’t organic for corn starch it could have been sprayed with Glyphosates!!! over 40+ plants fruits and vegetables are sprayed with Glyphosates. It’s the same chemical that’s in Roundup!!!😡

It should be gluten free and okay for celiacs. However, some celiacs develop and intolerance to corn apart from any gluten issue just as they do dairy, soy, eggs, etc. because of leaky gut.

What is WRBO?

[trents]

WRBO I think means Wheat Rye Barley Oats.  The first three are the gluten containing grains and oats contain a protein (Avenin) that is suspected to cause gluten-like reactions in about 10% of celiacs.
