Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Clonazepam

Thank you. I am writing for a friend. She took o.5 mg Conazepam twice a day for 15 years. Can one become immune to this drug? She never had side effects and it seemed to help her anxiety. Now, she is miserable, taking only a half pill once a day in order to stop taking it.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine drug. It has the ability to develop tolerance to the drug. This can result in individuals taking more and more of the drug, leading soon to chemical dependency. ope I have answered the question. Probably she needs to increase the dosage she is taking to have the initial effects she had.

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

Regards,
