Allergic reaction?

[Ctate96]

I started clonazepam last night. I had .25 last night and .25 this morning. Tonight I broke out in a fever & my whole face and chest got hot and red. My forehead and cheeks got tingly and swelled a little. Do you think I had a reaction to the clonazepam?

Probably you did but see how it goes, your body could well adjust to the new drug quite quickly.

it sounds like you are worried about taking the meds which is causing you to get worked up and have physical reactions. Clonazepam is a usually really harmless drug. It lowers inhibition and makes you calm down.

You may have. I would definitely contact my psychiatrist immediately and if s/he is unable to be reached go to urgent care. Also make sure to read the serious side effects part of the drug information. I am on it and have no issue. I never had a side effect when starting it. I do know, however, if you have serious side effects, always contact the doctor or go to the hospital. I pray you get the issue resolved.

Thank you! As the night went on last night the symptoms subsided and I’m feeling better this morning. I’ve stopped taking it and am back on my lorazepam until I can reach my doctor on Monday!

The chances of Clonazepam causing allergic rxn is very low,but still depends from person to person.

I was prescribed 3 clanazopams a day , .5 mg each one , I’m now down to 1 a day , they most defiantly help with anxiety and stuff but they are hard to come off , very addictive and wouldn’t recommend for long term use, if anyone is suffering anxiety .. TRY CBD !! Pills work but so does this canibidal it’s life changeing !! Good luck everyone

I bought that in liquid form. Do you know how many drops to use? And do you drink water afterwards?
