Let's take a minute to talk about your medication. This is clonazepam. Clonazepam calms and relieves anxiety, which can help you cope with certain situations. It can also help treat seizures. At first, some side effects can occur. You may feel drowsy, so don't do activities that require you to be alert, like driving, until you know how it affects you. Also, it could impair your thinking or coordination. Alcohol can make this worse, so it should be avoided while taking this medicine. If these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking clonazepam, please talk with your doctor or pharmacist. If you take clonazepam regularly, your body could become dependent on it, so don't suddenly stop taking it unless your doctor says it's okay. It is important to call your doctor right away if you ever feel worse, act differently, or have thoughts of suicide, because it could be a rare side effect of this medicine. Also, women should call right away if they think they could be pregnant. For best results, continue taking clonazepam, and follow your doctor's advice for lifestyle changes that may help with your anxiety or seizures.
