Lonazep is clonazepam a benzo which should not be taken for such a ling time as it is addictive and causes long term side effects. Try to reduce the dose by half every 2 weeks and stop, if not possible consult a psychiatrist who will help in this regard. Good luck.

Hello lybrate-user,
I hope that Paroxetine (Pari CR) and clonazepam (lonazep) were taken with medical advice and guidance. Please seek a consultation with your Psychiatrist to resolve your query. However it seems that weakness, anxiety, and crying spells are related to depression rathee than clonazepam withdrawal. However a more gradual tapering of clonazepam would be recommended. Optimization of Paroxetine dose under medical guidance, along with psychological intervention is advisable. Asse...more

Q1. I have difficulty in falling asleep and the doctor has recommended lonazep 0.25 mg once every night before bedtime. I have read that lonazep contains clonazepam which is used to reduce anxiety and calm down nerves. Besides, I have learned that lonazep 0.50 mg can induce sleep and is often used as a sleeping aid. So, my question is that 0.25 mg (which has been prescribed to me) being a very light dose, is it sufficient enough to be considered as a sleeping pill though it contains less concentration of clonazepam as compared to 0.50 mg tablet? Does 0.25 mg lonazep tablet having much less sleeping chemical, does it contain sufficient chemicals to be termed as the sleeping pill just as a 0.50 mg tablet? Please elaborate q2. My father had anxiety and stress related problems. He used to feel pressure in his head. And he used to stay awake till late night for office work and this cycle continued. His metabolism and bio cycles have been affected as his body clock is shifted. The normal way the body works has been hampered. Now he says that he cannot sleep even he feels sleepy asif that inbuilt mechanism of thr brain to switch off during relaxation, which is supposed to be automatic is not working. The doctor has recommended anxit 0.25 mg tablet once every night. Is it a sleeping pill like lonazep?

The fact that you have been taking anti anxiety drugs for more than 10 years and still suffer from migraine, anxiety and depression, means your problems are more due to your personality factors than physical causes. You seem to have a very low self esteem and are low on self confidence. You will need to go through intensive psychotherapy. Consult a good psychologist/ psychotherapist, who can help you understand your fears, mental blocks and help you overcome your low self confidence. Medicine ca...more

Dear Sunil,
It may not be a withdrawal of melzap after just 5 days. Did you have this kind of restless feeling before taking melzap? If so, you need to consult your doctor again to diagnose and treat your anxiety issues. It might be due to drug side effect, your medical issues and also psycho-social issues. Let it be diagnosed properly.

Though lonazep is a mild drug both are respiratory depressants and can cause medical concerns and issues if taken within short time of each other. So better avoid. Good luck
