You might get more responses if you posted this on the Depression board. But for general info on meds, there are medical sites where you can search the information (we are not allowed to list links). Side effects are so individual.

Good luck!

All of these meds are out of the web along with the product literature that you should have gotten along with them when you picked up the prescriptions. If the pharmacist didn't give you any literature with these meds then either print yourself a copy off the web OR go back and request the info from your pharmacist. Any time you get new medication be sure the pharamacist gives the the literature that goes with the medication and if they don't then ask for it and as always be sure to READ it when you get home so that you are aware of what this medication is supposed to do, when to take it and what side effects to watch for. I could look each med up my self for you and post the info here but I think you need to learn to do this yourself and to get in the habit of making sure you have and read the literature since it seems like you require frequent drugs. Good Luck

You can get some basic information on the NIH MedLinePlus drug database. Here's a link to information on Clonazepam:

Also check for drug/drug and food/drug interactions. Do a search for 'drug interactions' and you should get several databases. The ones I personally find most useful use multum.
