A member asked:

What are clonazepam/klonopin side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sedation: Dizziness and excess sedation are side effects. The goal with Clonazepam and anxiety is to take the edge off of anxiety to allow people to function but not be so tired and exhausted that they can't function.
