I was prescribed with it by my new psychiatrist for my anxiety and depression, together with the strongest SSRI Paroxetine. But my neurologist prescribed me Valporate Sodium for my nocturnal seizures that were being controlled with Clobazam that is sold out on a national level here in Portugal !
I'm scared to have to take 2 benzos and an SSRI to substitute 1.
Isn't this too much?
Does anyone know of the new benzo, cloxazolam?

Yes, 2 benzos is too much in my opinion, I suggest you seek for a second opinion.

When you feel uncomfortable, insecure or uneasy with how and with what medications you have been prescribed, always seek for a second opinion , you will be the person taking the medications and you have every right to have peace of mind.

Cloxazolam is a benzodiazepine derivative that has anxiolytic, sedative, and anticonvulsant properties. It is not widely used; as of August 2018 it was marketed in Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal, Brazil, and Japan. In 2019, it has been retired from the Belgian market.
