      Mechanism Description
  • Additive hypertensive effects by the combination of Amoxapine and Clonazepam 

Recommended Action
      Management Patients should be monitored for excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be made aware of the possibility of additive CNS effects (e.g., drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, or confusion) and counseled to avoid activities requiring alertness until they know how these agents affect them. Patients should also be advised to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.
