Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAYThe most common side effects of clonazepam are neurotoxic and dose-related. They include:
Up to half of patients treated for seizures with clonazepam experience drowsiness and about 30% have problems with coordination. In some cases, these problems diminish with time. About 25% have behavior problems such as hyperactivity in children.
Side effects may be lessened by:
Patients who have just started taking clonazepam (or who have just started taking a larger amount) should be cautioned about possible sedation and to avoid activities that require full vigilance until the effects of the drug are fully apparent.
No one should stop taking clonazepam or change the amount they take or when they take it without their doctor's guidance.
