Question 1

can you take zoloft (sertraline) and clonazepam together and what is safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes but sedation etc: The response to the medications and the doses need monitoring[ i.e. Asking the right questions at each medication appointment regarding potential side-effects, medication interactions, activities of daily living, checking blood pressure both sitting and standing to make sure you do not have any orthostatic hypotention from the combination or other causes like dehydration especially in hot weather..

Question 2

can i take 5htp and gaba with zoloft (sertraline) and clonazepam? if so what is the safe amount of each? i am on 50mg of zoloft (sertraline).

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Both zoloft (sertraline) and 5thp will increase serotonin levels.  The doses are often not well standardized in supplements - so you can't always be sure of the amount of active substance you are getting. Best to talk over with your prescribing psychiatrist. He or she can raise dose of zoloft (sertraline) if indicated.

Question 3

i take zoloft (sertraline) and clonazepam is it ok to take my atenolol and melatonin at night the zoloft (sertraline) side interactions said no. advise thanks?

Accepted Answer

Yes it's ok: There are no known interactions between the medications you list other than when combined they can make you sleepier than with just one of them.

Question 4

also can zoloft (sertraline) and clonazepam delay your period? i am a 28 cycle and i always get mine on time. this time it's delaying and i know i'm not pregnant

Accepted Answer

Not that I know of: There are some medications that can interfere with oral contraceptives, but Zoloft (sertraline) and Clonazepam are not among those.  You don't say whether you are on any kind of birth control, and your saying you know you are not pregnant I take to mean you haven't had sexual intercourse.  If you continue to be late, you need to see your OB/GYN provider for an evaluation, but I don't think it's your medication

Question 5

i have taking zoloft 50 mg and clonazepam (0-0-1)for few months now for obsessive thought and anxiety issues.
can 0.25 clonazepam cause withdrawal?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: That small dose would probably not cause a withdrawal syndrome. However, it is always best to taper off this kind of medicine. Ask your prescriber about how best to do this taper off if you desire to stop.

Question 6

my psychiatrist prescribed zoloft (sertraline) 50mg and clonazepam 1mg at day  and clonazepam 2mg at bedtime. is the reason of this is to ease zoloft (sertraline) side effects?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: This is about twice the amount of Klonopin that most people would start with, unless you had been on them previously and had some tolerance, or your level of anxiety was extremely high. The person to ask is the prescribing doctor. Zoloft (sertraline) takes weeks to work for both anxiety and depression, and Klonopin works right away, but produces physical dependency and will require tapering to get off.

Question 7

been taken zoloft (sertraline) 50mg for 1+ month, also take clonazepam .5 as needed. can i just stop zoloft (sertraline) and just take clonazepam as needed?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doctor: Zoloft (sertraline) can be tapered in 1 week or so. Please talk to your prescribing doc before making any changes in your meds.

Question 8

i also take 4mg of risperdone and 150 mg of zoloft (sertraline) and 1mg of clonazepam can this be making stagger like a drunk person?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doctor: Anti-anxiety and antipsychotic medications can effect balance and motor functioning.  Talk with your prescribing doctor about your motor symptoms, re-discuss with him/her all your medications, over the counter medicines, and if any , you alcohol or non-medical drug use.

Question 9

hello, i only get nerves from about 8am - 5pm.  is that considered depression or just anxiety, i take zoloft (sertraline) and clonazepam when needed?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: It sounds like you have symptoms that appear only part of the time. Talk to the doctor who originally prescribed the medications. Both medicines should help with your symptoms.

Question 10

is it safe to take zoloft (sertraline) and klonopin together?

Accepted Answer

If prescribed: If prescribed by your physician to take that way, yes you can.  Discuss any concerns with your physician or your pharmacist.
