I wouldn't attribute cholesterol elevation or abnormal HDL&LDL to clonazepam. I recommend rechecking your full lipid panel in 6 weeks and continuing a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fats. I assume your triglycerides are ok.

Continue as advised for sleep disorder. Your meds are not causing lipid issues which do need attention separately

My doctor says to take statin at bedtime because cholesterol is produced more at sleep. Does that mean both HDL and LDL are produced at night?
