It is very common to experience sleep issues alongside anxiety, and I understand how disruptive this can be. However, please consult your doctor before restarting Nexito (escitalopram) and clonazepam. Escitalopram is a long-term medication that takes several weeks to work and can sometimes initially affect your sleep. Clonazepam is highly effective for short-term relief but carries a risk of dependency if not carefully monitored. Because your symptoms or health needs may have changed over the last two months, your doctor will want to evaluate you to ensure this is still the safest, most effective treatment plan for your sleep and anxiety.
