There are no serious side effects

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking

Clonazepam is a safe benzodiazepine drug. There are no serious side effects even if the drug is taken on long term.

Few of my patients are taking the drug since 10-15 years and they are doing good. Please take drug in prescribed dose only.
