Dr. Alan Ali answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Klonopin (clonazepam): Not sure if you started with the generic, if switched recently from the brand to the generic, or if the dose was not enough to block the anxiety attacks during sleep. Discuss with your doctor.

I have been prescribed 1MG Clonazepam and 2.5 MG Olanzapine together, and read that there is a major interaction with the 2 which can cause shallow breathing, low pulse, etc. Is this only true for the INTRAMUSCULAR olanzapine, or the oral tablet too?
