Hello,
Lonazep (Clonazepam 0.5 mg ) is of Benzodiazepine group drug and Zolfresh (Zolpidem5 mg ) both potentiate the action of GABA, a chief inhibitory neurotransmitter.
Hence the withdrawal effect of Clonazepam will be mitigated. Otherwise, abrupt withdrawal of Clonazepam is not recommended if a patient is on long-term, high-dose therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
