Clonazepam Side Effects
Some Clonazepam benzodiazepine side effects are serious, while they may occur infrequently; they are potentially severe and need to be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.
These serious benzodiazepine side effects include: problems with balance, particularly frequent falls (this is especially dangerous for the elderly), depression (or worsened depression), suicidal thoughts, memory problems, trouble breathing, anxiety, agitation, or excitation; hostility, rage, or aggression; hallucinations, insomnia, and symptoms of allergic reactions, which include: unexplained swelling, hives, rash and itching. Another set of benzodiazepine side effects that can occur from discontinuing use of this drug include those of benzodiazepine withdrawal.

This medication has been examined in clinical studies to ident  these side effects. In these trials, the most frequent side effects included: drowsiness, which was experienced by 50% of Clonazepam users, coordination problems in up to 30%, behavior problems in up to 25%, dizziness in up to 12%, and upper respiratory infections (the common cold) were found to occur as a side effect in 10% of people who use this medication. Additional side effects of this benzodiazepine medication, which 1% to 10% of people taking this medication were found to experience included: decreased sex drive, speech problems, sinus infections, confusion, coughing, a runny or irritated nose, sore throat, painful menstrual cramps, fatigue, and sexual problems.

Of course there are many other possible Clonazepam benzodiazepine side effects that are not among the ones most frequently reported (although there is no exact percentage reported for the individuals who experienced these side effects). These Clonazepam benzodiazepine side effects included: increased salivation, weight gain or weight loss, swelling of the ankles or feet, “drunken” behavior, toothaches, twitching, migraine headaches, hemorrhoids, ear infections, (vertigo) spinning sensation, ear infections, gout, motion sickness, back pain, menstrual problems, muscle cramping, increased sneezing, nosebleeds, asthma attacks, acne, loss of taste, hair loss, vision problems, and problems with passing urine.

Clonazepam is prescribed to individuals for anxiety and to help promote sleep. However, when this drug is used for a long time, it usually ends up producing more side effects and symptoms than it was meant to treat, including pronounced symptoms of withdrawal when a person stops taking it. Alternative to Meds Center discovers in most situations of anxiety, that the person has a collection of neurotoxins such as heavy toxic metals that over-stimulate their nervous system. Often this can be what led to initially using this medication. The withdrawal from benzodiazepines can present severe anxiety and prolonged withdrawal, and unsupported withdrawal may be almost impossible. Thus, these are the most common kind of medications which we help people to address.  

Our techniques are diverse for this particular type of medication, but they include careful taper methods, cessation of built-up neurotoxins which are from the drug or the person environment, use of natural substances for neurochemical support, support from peers, and healing benefits of numerous different therapies designed for promoting relaxation such as acupuncture, massage, sauna and meditation.
