I took lonazep 0.25 morning and one at evening for 3 weeks for anxiety. Along with that I am taking pari cr 12. 5 mg. I withdrew from lonazep after 3 weeks but after 4-5 days after last dose I am feeling very weak and anxious. I feel like crying. Are these withdrawal symptoms of lonazep? What should I do?

Hello lybrate-user, I hope that Paroxetine (Pari CR) and clonazepam (lonazep) were taken with medical advice and guidance. Please seek a consultation with your Psychiatrist to resolve your query. However it seems that weakness, anxiety, and crying spells are related to depression rathee than clonazepam withdrawal. However a more gradual tapering of clonazepam would be recommended. Optimization of Paroxetine dose under medical guidance, along with psychological intervention is advisable. Assessment of depression with biopsychosocial correlates will be required. Hence please visit a Psychiatrist near you for comprehensive assessment and further management. Hope this helps you. Best wishes for your health and future.
