CLONAZEPAM (OCD)

2022-01-15 12:15:00
I have one clarification about my OCD. Situation A : Was taking Clonazepam 0.5mg. obsessions used to come and go. Not having too much anxiety (An obsession used stay for 3 to 4 days max). I would ignore my obsession after 3 days. Situation B : My doctor asked me to stop CLONAZEPAM (After tapering it down in 1 month - 15 days 0.25mg and after 15 days half tablet in 0.25mg). I stopped taking it from past 2 days. Now I’m feeling extremely anxious, depressed and can’t ignore a single thought, the feeling is like end of the world. Question is…. is this withdrawal symptom?? If yes, How long does it stays ?? Will I go back to situation A again ever if I do everything (Psychotherapy) exactly?? Will I be able to ignore the thought as I used to do while taking Clonazepam??

Clonazepam can give temporary relief for your anxiety which is being produced by your thoughts. It's quiet addictive in a person who is anxious. Ideal thing is to assess how severe is your OCD, is it mild which terapy alone can help or f it's more severe then need for medicines with therapy.

Treatment for OCD is antidepressant and psychotherapy. Clonazepam is antianxiety medication not for OCD. Consult me on practo for treatment
