clonazepam lethargy

has anyone experienced extreme fatigue since taking Clonazepam. My husband has been taking this now for around 10 days. He seems to be sleeping better at night but extremely tired during the day and i think this might be impacting his ability to walk as he can barely stand up without falling backwards and seems exhausted. He just can’t move his legs and despite trying to encourage him he just leans backwards.

he came out of hospital about 3weeks ago after having a UTI and then contracting COVID. Since then he can barely take a few steps. I don’t know if this is due to COVID or the Clonazepam.

his bowels are also extremely loose.

Hi, my mum caught covid in the relatively early stages of CBD however, COVID fast forwarded the disease by at least 6 months. Mum went into hospital with dehydration due to covid as we couldn’t get her to take enough water due to her severe sore throat. Mum came out of hospital much, much worse than when she went in. She lost complete mobility, was doubly incontinent and lost the little bit of mojo she had. . From our experience covid really advanced the progression of CBD.

Hi, as Bichonbear1 said COVID, or any illness/stress for that matter, can cause the disease to advance; there is also a good chance that as they recover they may revert back, slowly, but not to where they were before the illness, their new baseline.I have seen this a few times with my wife, after COVID she never regained the ability to chew which she was struggling with before. Last year when she had Pneumonia her mouth was gaping open where as normally she struggled to open her mouth, it reverted back when the infection was cleared.
