Dear Nandlal,
Both are good. Such combination studies are not done usually. So, you can use whichever combination works for you. But at the age of 64, it is better to use etizolam.

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.

Do it slowly.
Better to consult a psychiatrist in-person, near your place of living.
One suggested way:
break lonazep md (0.25) into 4 (almost) equal pieces (i know it is a very small tablet and pill breaker, easily available online for 30 to 60 rs can help). Take 3 parts (pieces) daily for 7 to 10 days, then take 2 parts daily for next 7 to 10 days, then take one part daily for next 7 to 10 days & then stop taking.
In case you have moderate to severe recurrence of your anxiety, ...more

It occurs in 1-2 patients out of 10. So, there is a bright chance you might not have major side effects. You got to take this small risk considering risk and benifit ratio. You will need a preliminary evaluation before starting medications. So, you can consult me online or any other good psychiatrist nearby before st...more
