Alprazolam on a longer run is dangerous and causes serious side effects. It is good to switch to escitalopram and clonazepam, but some develop heaviness as you said. You can discuss with your psychiatrist and change to better medications, which control anxiety well without heavy head. All the best.

Are you taking these with regular psychiatrist review, or on your own. As these come under medications which require regular review for side effects, resistance and other issues. Kindly consult a nearby psychiatrist and get it revised. Clonazepam 1 mg for long can produce severe long term issues like brain shrinkage, cognitive deficits, personality changes etc.

Hi,
clomipramine is known to cause dry mouth, drowsiness and sexual dysfunction. Clonazepam might be having an additive effect on drowsiness. You should discuss with your psychiatrist to consider decreasing the dose of clomipramine and gradually tapering off clonazepam, it might help, if it doesn't then you will have to stop clomipramine.
