A member asked:
Is taking clonazepam for anxiety episodes safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diagnostic eval: Hi, can be safe when used as directed and under the careful guidance of a physician who knows your medical history. Generally, benzodiazapines are a short term solution only. For longer term management of anxiety/panic, practice guidelines suggest other medications, such as SSRIs and cognitive behavior therapy. Please make sure you are evaluated by a psychiatrist and/or psychologist. Take care
