A member asked:
Will taking clonazepam 0.25 mg for anxiety for a week have any side effects after stopping the drug? is it best to take this medicine before bed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clonazepam is safest, taken at bedtime, due to side effects of drowsiness, sedation, and dizziness. Taking at the low dose described for 7 days should not cause habituation, and could likely be safely stopped. However, it might take a few days to rapidly fall asleep after drug is done.
