Clonapax is used for anxiety or sleep, but using it frequently for a long time can lead to dependence and reduced effect. You should not stop it suddenly, as it may cause withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, or restlessness. The best step is to consult your doctor to gradually reduce (taper) the dose safely and shift to safer long-term options like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or other non-addictive medicines. Proper guidance will help you come off it safely and manage your mental health better.
