Doctor's Response (Posted on : 18 Dec 2008 ) Clonazepam (Lonazep) is known the cause the side effects you mentioned such as drowsiness, confusion etc., The side effects continue only till the drug is used. You are following the right approach by tapering the dose and not stopping it immediately, that way you will avoid developing withdrawl symptoms. |
