Hi,

Lonazep contains Clonazepam that belongs to the group of medications known as benzodiazepines is used in the treatment of anxiety, panic attack, insomnia, seizures etc. But like other medications this medication has some side effects of its own. Stop taking Lonazep abruptly may cause unpleasant side effects that is known as withdrawal syndrome. Withdrawal syndrome of Lonazep are dizziness, imbalance of body, sleep disturbance, irritability, headache, sweating, addiction, dependence, seizures and many more. Lonazep has a long half life, so withdrawal syndrome may persist for weeks. It is recommended to stop taking this medication by tapering its dose gradually under the supervision of the prescribing doctor to avoid any unwanted side effects.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
