I take clonazepam 1mg 3x/day for anxiety. just got rx'd nexium (esomeprazole). was told nexium (esomeprazole) could block absorption of clonazepam and possibly induce withdrawal. what would be the best way to dose both meds?

Wrong: Whoever said this to you is wrong. I have searched several databases and from my own clinical experience there are no drug interactions between these medications. You do not have to worry about going through Clonazepam withdrawal.
