Clonazepam: Uses, Side Effects, Interactions and More

Serious Side Effects

You must contact your healthcare provider if you experience any severe side effects. You can call 911 if your symptoms are life-threatening. Examples of serious side effects include:

  • Depressed mood or urge to kill or hurt yourself
  • You’re more susceptible to seizures if you stop using your drug without your doctor’s permission

Dosage

Your doctor will prescribe clonazepam dosage based on the following factors:

  • The kind of disease you are
  • Your age
  • The form of the drug
  • Other health issues you may have

In most cases, your doctor will first prescribe a small dosage and increase after a while. The primary aim is to prescribe the smallest dosage that works for you and gets the required results. You must only take dosages recommended by your healthcare provider. A doctor will determine the best dosage to suit a person’s needs.
