Hello Lybrate user. As you told that you r different from anxiety and you were on paroxetene 25 mg ans clonazepam 0.25 in whole day. It is basic treatment of anxiety which I also give to my patients. As you have told that you felt stiffness in body as went to the treating doctor again, why he decreased the dose is best known to him only. One most lrobably answer is that he sense the side effect is due to paroxetene and wanted to check weather de dressing the dose will help you get rid of stiffness. At the same time he increase the dose of clonazepam which is just to call down your anxiety. In my opinion still the dose adjustment is needed. U just go to him once and if your problem does not get relieved you can contact me in inbox. Thanks.
