Does Xanax Have Any Side Effects?

Is Xanax being taken off the market and why are MD's changing pts to clonaphen also I don't take Xanax everyday. I currently have several prescriptions that my MD has given me that I never filled. They are even out of date now. I'm concerned with the side effects with the other med. I have many problems with allergic reactions to different medications. Xanax does not cause me any problems. What is your opinion on this. Thanks in advance.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Xanax and klonopin contain same medicine that is clonazepam, so there is nothing to worry about it. Both drugs are available in market, but sometime, psychiatrist or physician prescribed drug according to the availability in stock. That may be the reason of changing brand. If you are facing problem with klonopin, though it has same medicine, you can consult your physician.

Thanks
