Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. Lonazep (0.25 mg Clonazepam) can cause memory impairment,anterograde amnesia i.e..loss of the ability to create new memories after the event that caused the amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. Patient should avoid intake of alcoholic beverages or other CNS depressants while taking Lonazep. Other common side effects from clonazepam are :drowsiness,dizziness,tiredness,weakness,dry mouth,diarrhea,upset stomach changes in appetite.
