My doctor prescribed clonazepam for anxiety after i had an episode of afib. the er when i was being treated for afib gave me lorazepam. any issue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: They are both benzodiazepines. The lorazepam is fast acting and is useful for acute relief. There is some immediate relief with initial dosing of clonazepam but can take several weeks with daily dosing for maximal therapeutic benefit.
