Important Safety Information & Risks

• Controlled Substance / Habit-Forming: Clonazepam has a high potential for psychological and physical dependence, tolerance, and abuse. It should only be taken exactly as prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider.

• Risk of Withdrawal: Stopping the medication abruptly can trigger severe, potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms (such as seizures, tremors, and extreme anxiety). Discontinuation must always be done gradually under medical supervision.

• Side Effects: Common side effects include drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, muscle weakness, impaired coordination, and mental confusion.

• Dangerous Interactions: Never combine clonazepam with alcohol, opioids, or other central nervous system depressants, as this can lead to severe sedation, respiratory depression, coma, or death.

• Alertness: Because it causes significant drowsiness and slows reaction times, you should not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
