Brief Answer:
Ear congestion can be a side effect of Clonazepam.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Clonazepam can cause an ear congestion as a side effect.
So, your symptoms can be related to the use of the Clonazepam.
This side effect usually goes away on its own.
Meanwhile, you can use a decongestant such as Sudafed to relieve the symptoms.
I also suggest to avoid caffeine or smoking.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards!
