Lybrate-user, Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine and is prescribed for anxiety but usually dependence occurs if taken for more than 4 weeks. Now you have to get expert help in tapering the Clonazepam and this is done very gradually by 5 % every week and can last several months. You could experience headache, sleeplessness, anxiety and mood changes commonly and sometimes antidepressants are prescribed to help these difficulties. You could also get psychological support during tapering this medication. However you should be monitored regularly while this tapering occurs and is best done by a psychiatrist.
