What Are The Side Effects Of Klonopin?

I am taking kolopin along with Lamotrgue, because if side affects of insomnia. Will this even caused having more seizures? My seizures are nocturnal as is why I'm concerned about it causing more seizures. I know I shouldn't just quit taking it but be winged off of them. Just concerned as having some seizures during daylight time. They haven't happened often and I have contribute to mistaken my medicine or not taken a dose until 9:00 and take the next dose at 7. I need some insight or advice. Thanks

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

Klonopin is Clonazepam and the drug is a sleep medicines but it can be used in seizures also. Lamotrigine is also a good anti seizure drug that is used in variety of seizures. You have seizure disorder and these seizures occurs more ofter during sleep. In such case both of these drugs wouldn't increase the risk of seizures in you and you can take these drugs as per prescription without any fear. If you forgot to take the dose of drug then you can take the drug as per your prescription when ever you remember to take it.

Just keep watch for any rashes on skin during drug therapy. Lamotrigine is known to cause rashes and skin reactions which are serious side effects of the drug. Over all the drug is safe to use.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
