Clonazepam should start to work quite quickly, usually within 30 minutes. Many people do not experience any side effects.
However some people may experience some side effects. We have listed potential side effects in the table below, whether or not
they are likely to be short or long-term and what measures can be taken is also described. There are other possible side effects –
we have listed only the most important ones. Ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are worried about anything else that
you think might be a side effect. Further information on side effects is available in the official manufacturer’s leaflet.
Is it OK to stop taking clonazepam when symptoms go away?
If taken for seizures clonazepam should not be stopped except on the advice of a prescriber. In anxiety clonazepam should be
taken only for short periods – ideally for less than four weeks. Other methods of dealing with anxiety may also be tried. These
include relaxation techniques and psychological therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy. You should always discuss with
your prescriber any plans you have to reduce or stop any of your prescribed medicines.
