Are Ingredients Of Halopam Same As Clonazepam?

Posted on Fri, 14 Nov 2014

Question: Thank you. What is Halopam? Are its ingredients and purpose the same as clonazepam?I am not in need of an anti depressant. I need medication for social anxiety

I received small white tablets without stamp. Very soft and dissolves quickly.

Tablets are labelled 2 MG

Effect is similar but more sedative.

The 2 mg tablets of Halopam are clearly not 4 times as strong as .5 mg tablets of clonazepam.

Please advise of any abnormal negative side affects.

Would you recommend any supplement to clonazepam such as
My doctor is very anti clonazepam but it is the only med that works for me. Hardly any side affects.

Finaly the packet of Halopam is also labeled Clonazepam but the effect is different.

Thank you.

Hello.Delighted to be able to help.
The drug that you refer is 2 mg of Clonazepam.Initially, the power of 1 pill of 2mg is equal than 4 pills of 0.5 mg.
It is not recommend combining Clonazepam with Diazepam,are similar drugs.
You can combine Clonazepam with Alprazolam,using Alprazolam under the tongue to treat panic attacks.
Gold standard treatment of social anxiety are antidepressants as Paroxetine or Venlafaxine (althought you're not depressed).

Thank you Dr. XXXXXXX Artero Munoz, one last question. The Halopam pills do not have a manufacturers stamp. Why might this be and should I be concerned about this?

And thank you for the additional information. It has been very helpful.

Manufacturers do not have any stamp can be due to changes in the drug laws,
introduction of generic drugs .... you should not worry about it.
Combining Clonazepam with an antidepressant as Paroxetine or Venlafaxine, you will feel better, I'm sure.
