A member asked:

Ever since on klonopin (clonazepam) developed cystic acne. hormone levels all normal. side effect of klonopin (clonazepam)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Klonopin (clonazepam) is not known to cause acne. If anything, by decreasing anxiety, Klonopin (clonazepam) would help any stress factor that might play a role in physical health. Best to see a dermatologist for acne treatment. I hope this helps.
