Subtitution of medication
Hi, I have been prescribed clonazepam 0.25mg twice a day along with ecitalopram and placida for anxiety and panic attack. I am looking forward to substitute clonazepam with etizolam as I am happening to keep yawning the entire day and I am asuming it to be due to clonazepam. Is it safe to do so, does etizolam work equivalently to clonazepam?

Yawning isn't necessarily caused by benzodiazepines in your case, because you're taking SSRIs also which can cause yawning in the initial days. So continue to take your medications as prescribed.
