Medicines like Clonazepam can lead to dependence if used for a long time, so your doctor may gradually lower your dose and suggest safer long-term treatments for panic disorder. Psychological therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy, along with regular exercise, breathing techniques, and good sleep habits, can help manage anxiety and reduce the need for medicines. Always check with your doctor before making any changes.
