So I’m prescribed clonazepam by my psychiatrist for a recent development in anxiety. So I wanted to ask this question but forgot to in my session with him. I’m also prescribed Zonisamide for General Epilepsy and had them first when I was 17.
When can I take my clonazepam after taking Zonisamide at 9pm?

Hi, KHM1!

There is a slight chance of an interaction causing some dizziness and drowsiness like the Interaction report says. Both drugs stay in your system for a long time so spacing them would be difficult. If you can take both at bedtime, it'll help you sleep.
Your doctor is likely aware of this potential interaction and may have determined that the benefits outweigh the risk to you. Just be aware that you may have some side effects until your body gets used to the combination.
If you're still concerned it'd be best to ask your doctor or pharmacist for professional advice.
