How can I safely manage medication dependence and progressive weight gain associated with the long-term use of Panazep 12.5 mg and Lonazep, especially when these side effects are worsening my underlying depression?

Panazep (paroxetine and clonazepam) and Lonazep (clonazepam) can indeed contribute to weight gain and physical dependence over time. Please know you are not stuck, and there is a safe way forward. It is crucial that you do not stop these medications suddenly, as this can cause severe withdrawal. Instead, partner with your doctor to design a gradual, supervised tapering schedule. They can also help explore alternative treatments for your depression that are weight-neutral.
