Dr. Robert Wilson answered

Specializes in Addiction Medicine

YES: Citalopram is an antidepressant and clonazepam is for anxiety (and other indications). Depression is often co-occuring with anxiety. Clonazepam would not be my first choice for anxiety because of addiction potential. Also, if you take it daily there is a nasty withdrawal syndrome if you stop without a prolonged taper. CBT by a skilled psychologist would be my first choice.
