Hi, i am taking celexa 20 mg for depression and anxiety and klonopin (clonazepam) for anxiety and panic. could i replace the klonopin (clonazepam) with amitriptyline safely?

Not enough info: Switching medications requires knowledge of your entire clinical situation. You need to discuss with prescribing doctor reason for changing any med and how to do so. Also you must be seen and carefully monitored for symptoms and side effects. I hope this helps.
