Ever heard of brain zaps with clonazepam?

Yes: Over the years some of my patients have reported episodes when on the bezodiazepines such as clonazepiam, alprazolam, etc when they feel a lapse in brain function - some say it is as tho they have a pause in their thinking. Discuss this and any other side effects with your prescribing doctor.

Klonipin Addiction: Pre- seizure activity is very likely. U need an addiction specialist. Benzo can frequently cause headaches and always contribute to depression and lack of drive. When you are physiologically dependent or addicted to benzo's you can have seizures when you stop them. Frequently dealers cut the benzo level out and put in sedating antihistamine, which duh.. Cause sezures in their buyers. Bummer.
