Hi, Thanks for reaching out. Yes, you can undergo an MRI or CT scan while taking Clonazepam and Escitalopram Oxalate. These medications do not interfere with the imaging procedure or the results. However, inform the radiologist or technician about your medications before the scan, especially if you're undergoing a contrast-enhanced scan.
Next Steps
1. Proceed with the scan as advised by your doctor. 2. Continue your medications unless specifically told otherwise by your treating physician.
Health Tips
1. If you experience increased drowsiness or anxiety before the scan, discuss with your doctor whether timing your medication differently that day might help. 2. Avoid stopping your medications abruptly.

Yes you can with these tablets, also there is some technical small work up/checklist before going to MRI/CT which a technician or a radiologist will be doing. All the best

Yes. Those medications are not contraindications for MRI or CT. But if either of the procedures involve injection of contrasting agents, then you might require appropriate clearance.
Next Steps
You can proceed if it's plain MRI/ CT.
