A member asked:
Why should we use combination of alprazolam and clonazepam instead of just one? can we always combine 2 types of benzodiazepine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See ans: One benzodiazepine is preferred. Benzodiazepines can be addicting and need close medical supervision. If you are taking two benzodiazepines, discuss with prescribing doctor to review reason. Best regards.
