a question about clonazepam?
hi, i've been prescribed three different meds by my psychiatrist for depression and anxiety; bupropion, fluvoxamine, and clonazepam. the other two haven't taken effect yet, and i'm continuing the prescribed dose, but the clonazepam is just making me feel really sh!tty, more depressed, taking away my motivation, and just phucking me up more. they're 0.5mg tablets, and i've only taken 4 over the course of two days, one in the morning and one at night during that time. is there any harm in abruptly discontinuing use? i know about benzo withdrawals and such, but i'm just wondering if it's dangerous. i don't think it is since i've taken so little over such a short amount of time. just curious. thanks

Clonazepam will not cause you any withdraw effects since you've only been taking them for 2 days.
It does tend to be a hard drug to stop if you have been using it for a long period of time. It is also a drug that your body will build up a tolerance too, and result in you needing to take a higher dosage. Any yes, a side effect with some people is depression. It is mainly prescribed as an anti seizure medication but physicians also find it effective in treating depression.
I would advise stopping it now while you've only been on it 2 days. Speak with your physician.

I usually just take 25 mgs at night to help me go to sleep. Never take that during the day then I'm too tired an don't want to do anything. I don't take it everynight. I take it 2-3 times per week at night, because then it becomes more addicting if you take it everyday.
