After regular use, rebound insomnia may occur when discontinuing clonazepam. Benzodiazepines may cause or worsen depression. Occasional
Dysphoria
Induction of seizures or increased frequency of seizures
Personality changes
Behavioural disturbances
Ataxia

Rare
Suicide through disinhibition
Psychosis
Incontinence
Liver damage
Paradoxical behavioural disinhibition (most frequently in children, the elderly, and in persons with developmental disabilities)
Rage
Excitement
ImpulsivityThe long-term effects of clonazepam can include depression, disinhibition, and sexual dysfunction. Drowsiness
Clonazepam, like other benzodiazepines, may impair a persons ability to drive or operate machinery. The central nervous system depressing effects of the drug can be intensified by alcohol consumption, and therefore alcohol should be avoided while taking this medication. Benzodiazepines have been shown to cause dependence. Patients dependent on clonazepam should be slowly titrated off under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional to reduce the intensity of withdrawal or rebound symptoms. Withdrawal-related
Anxiety
Irritability
Insomnia
Tremors
Headaches
Stomach pain
Hallucinations
Suicidal thoughts or urges
Depression
Fatigue
Dizziness
Sweating
Confusion
Potential to exacerbate existing panic disorder upon discontinuation
Seizures similar to delirium tremens (with long-term use of excessive doses)Benzodiazepines such as clonazepam can be very effective in controlling status epilepticus, but, when used for longer periods of time, some potentially serious side-effects may develop, such as interference with cognitive functions and behavior. Many individuals treated on a long-term basis develop a dependence. Physiological dependence was demonstrated by flumazenil-precipitated withdrawal. Use of alcohol or other CNS depressants while taking clonazepam greatly intensifies the effects (and side effects) of the drug. A recurrence of symptoms of the underlying disease should be separated from withdrawal symptoms. Tolerance and withdrawal
Like all benzodiazepines, clonazepam is a GABA-positive allosteric modulator.
