Hi, Only giving clonazepam is not the solution for any illness. It will just stop the symptoms immediately initially but after few months the same dose will become ineffective. Standard practice is to prescribe clonazapam for 4-6 weeks, than to taper it off.

Both the medications mentioned above have a combination of 2 salts. One of which is a benzodiazepines. Long term use of benzodiazepines is not recommended except under specialist care.
You can personally message me to discuss further.

Dear lybrate-user, along with medication do consider psychotherapy sessions for anxiety. Sessions will help you deal with anxiety and the anxiety provoking thoughts that are troubling. Along with medication and psychotherapy sessions, indulge yourself in some selfcare regime like meditation and breathing exercises. Practicing yoga and or going for a walk. This will help you deal with anxiety and help you increase self awareness and make you relax.
