Is Clonazepam The Cause For Indigestion And Vomiting?
My 22 yr old son has been throwing up every morning for the last month and today he threw up last nights meal that was completely undigested. His appetite has decreased and he does suffer from anxiety severely and is on clonazipam. Is it the drug? Or something else

Hi,
Clonazepam does not cause indigestion and vomiting. Clonazepam (benzodiazepine) is used to treat panic disorder and certain seizure disorders.
Its common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, ataxia, and memory problems.
Based on the history given your son seems to be suffering gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) for which he needs to be examined by a doctor for proper treatment like use of proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole with domperidone).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
