Doubt it's psych med: Some meds -- such as older antipsychotic medications -- may cause dyskinetic movements that can affect breathing. However, you're not on any of them -- only on clonazepam, a medicine for anxiety. If stopped at all, it needs to be tapered & your doctor needs to help with this. Please see your primary care doctor about your breathing issues, which are unlikely to be related to your psych meds.
