For few weeks it is good, on a longer run you can seek alternates. If you have frequent manic episodes then fluoxetine can be replaced with other medications. Good luck

Clonazepam when taken for long duration may cause dependence. It become very difficult for few patients to stop clonazepam though it can be replaced or reduced with careful examination of your condition in strict guidance of a psychiatrist. Consult a psychiatrist for proper evaluation of your condition and discuss your issues. Follow his advice properly it may help you to withdraw clonazepam. All the best.
