Tags: clonazepam, mental, Health, Mental Health, atenolol, dose, mitral, neck, percocet, scared, Panic Attack, Panic Disorder

I', taking atenolol for a mitral problem and because of my panic disorder my doctor prescribe Clonazepam. Since my doctror prescribed Clonazepam (4 days ago) I'm in panic to take both medications. All the time I ask myself about take that 2 medications and side effects. I'm really scared because I want to feel good and I'm scared because I don't want to feel more bad things than I'm feeling with my problem.
Have a big chance that I can have serious side effects?
Thank you

Those two medications are frequently prescribed together, but you are correct to be careful, so ask your doctor about starting with the lowest dose of clonazepam to start with, and then see what happens before increasing.

I also suffer from panic attacks and take Klonpin. I have had to stop taking them due to the fact I have been prescribed percocet for a hernieted disc in my neck and have been on them for the past six months. I have not been doing well and want to get the pecocets but I am terrified of the side effects. Can you help me?

I meant to say - get OFF the percocets - I feel like I may become - or already am addicted, now I am having even more panic because I don't know WHAT to do. Please Help me.
