Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Body: its unlikely that they are causing your body and brain serious harm. there are risks with long term clonazepam use but at your age i would expect them to be minimal. if you are stopping your medication do so slowly and in conduction with your MD. both your meds can be challenging to stop.
