Dosage of clonazepam depends on severity of anxiety. It is sedating medication which induces sleep and reduces anxiety. Along with clonazepam other anxiety medication like ssri should be added so that clonazepam can be removed early . Do not self medicate as it can be risky.

Clonazepam may make you sleepy. This is given for symptomatic management in anxiety disorders and is given short term. Long term use can make you addicted to Clonazepam and you will add another problem along with anxiety .
First of all Anxiety management is a long term treatment which has to be done under the supervision of a Psychiatrist.
Anxiety management involves medication and appropriate Psychotherapy

Hello,
There are other drugs for long-term use in anxiety disorders. Clonazepam is usually restricted 2 short term and SOS use in anxiety and panic symptoms. Sedation can be managed by adjusting the dose of clonazepam.
