?: Would not want to 2nd guess your doctor, but I am not sure of the rationale for such a plan. Please check with your doctor to make sure you are interpreting the plan correctly as far as side effects of clonazepam, it can be sedating and decrease reaction time, but the biggest issue is the potential for addiction. When used on a regular basis you develop tolerance so it is no longer effective.
