Dear lybrate-user
so far what you have done is enough to stop it. I don't think that this does will have any adverse effects, and even if you experience anything you can take last dose on sos basis. What you are taking now is pediatric dose that is unlikely to cause any discontinuation effect.

It is not advisable or safe to take medicines like clonazepam without it being specifically prescribed by your doctor or without their supervision. Also, it is not a treatment for anxiety, merely something that provides relief from symptoms for a few hours. If you have anxiety, I would advise meeting a medical practitioner and starting proper treatment.

Melatonin helps in sleep initiation and clonazepam helps in all phases of sleep (initiation, maintenance and duration of sleep). Hence, if required then you can take both. However, you can consider of improving your sleep hygiene, if it is deranged.

I think. As you r on medication since 2011 for ocd wid relieving symptoms. Symptoms you mentioned might be part of restless leg syndrome. Which can be because of medications ,anxiety. And other causes. Usually benzodiazepine like clonazepam is used which you r already taking. Yes in addition to this you can try trihexyphendyl or levodopa carbamamazapine. For your symptoms. U can also avoid caffeine. Maintain sleep hygiene. Leg massage can also help.

Need to evaluate other contributing factors for your mood state. It could be because you might not have taken it for long enough, this drug may not be working for you, you may have some medical problem which might be contributing for your depression. So, please consider consulting your psychiatrist for further actions to be taken.

Dear lybrate-user Thank to for consulting.
Treatment of anxiety consists of medications as well as psychological therapy. Sometimes, stopping lorazepam can cause rebound Anxiety. It had to be done gradually. Please do not stop the medication without consulting your psychiatrist.

You have to better review your case for taking clonazepam and it is not good to take it long term . The cause for your anxiety need to be reviewed
