my husband has been on 1mg alprazolam 4 times a day for over 10 years now,His new doctor has changed him to .5mg clonazepam, 3 times a day. the pharmacist said there shouldn't be a problem when he finishes up his alprazolam and start taking the clonazepam. so far going into his 5th day, he's had most side effects listed, shaking, hot& cold flashes, mind racing,steps high& stumbles, Doctor said to continue taking them and he was ordering an increase to 1mg for the evening pills. He afraid of them and the doctor isn't helping, any suggestions?
