welcome to hcm,
clonazepam is a benzodiazepene it is used in many conditions.including anxiety, convulsions etc. when this drug is used long term it causes tremors ,sleeplessness or insomnia and can cause anxiety
i want you to discuss these things with your treating physician
abrupt withdrawal of the drug is also not recommended.gradual tappering of the dose is ok
hope this explains
with regards
Dr.Amarnath
