Hi. Thank you for reaching out to Health Care Magic. Clonazepam can be taken for anxiety. However, it is not always simple to swap one medication for another. This is because anxiety is a complex disease. There is thought to be an organic cause and sometimes a psychologic aspect to it. Anxiety due to an acute cause may need acute therapy. Personally, here are a few things I find useful. Spend lots of time with family and friends Exercise often Sleep more than 8 hours a day Get lots of rest Travel or take a vacation Get counselling or get behavior therapy done This would help people with anxiety in many cases. In case the symptoms still persist, talking to a psychologist or a psychiatrist can help as well. I hope this helps. Please reach out to me if you have any other questions. Dr Vignan
