Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Clonazepam A Better Medication For Anxiety Than Lorazepam?
I was taking lorazepam for anxiety and I have a mvmnt disorder, I was put on clonazepam and I have taken it before and am again having bad side effects. My dr says its better, last longer, and does not want to go against other drs advice. I was doing fine on the old med and felt great; he claimed I should never have been on it in the first place. I saw clonazepam has a lllot of side effects. Which is really better and any advise on how to get my old med back?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, you can gradually reduce the dosage of present medicine you have to taper the dosage and then stop it then after this you can start the former drug which is most suits you or else you can discuss this with doctor hope this information helps.
