Yes, this combination of paroxetine and clonazepam is a standard, effective treatment. Clonazepam helps quickly with acute anxiety and sleep, while paroxetine works on long-term symptom control. Regarding stopping, 4 to 5 weeks is a common timeframe to start tapering off the clonazepam to prevent dependence. However, paroxetine usually needs to be continued longer to ensure your symptoms do not return. When you are ready, your doctor will guide you through a safe, gradual dose reduction. Never stop these medications suddenly, as doing so can cause rebound anxiety. Discuss a structured tapering plan with your doctor when you feel ready.
