Clobazam=clonazepam : www.ehealthme.com/ds/clonazepam/sperm+analysis+abnormal on sep, 17, 2013: 34, 973 people reported to have side effects when taking clonazepam. Among them, 1 people (0.00%) has sperm analysis abnormal. To date i could find no reference to low sperm count with the use of locosmide(vimpat).
