Though memory does not get affected in everyone but in some cases the use of Klopam has shown memory-related problems. The patient may complain of partial or complete inability to recall the recent past.

If more than the recommended doses of Klopam are taken, it can cause sleepiness, changes in speech, abnormalities in eye movements, and confusion. Coma may also occur but lasts only for few hours. Usually overdose of Klopam is not life threatening.

The common symptoms seen after stopping Klopam abruptly or reducing the dose too quickly include difficulty in sleeping, changes in mood, and increased sweating. It can also result in muscle pain, headache, shaking (tremor) or feeling restless, feeling very anxious, tense, confused, and irritable or agitated.

The combination of Klopam and zolpidem should be avoided as it may have increased chances of side effects. If both are to be used then dose of Klopam should be reduced, to prevent side effects.

You need to take Klopam as long as doctor has advised you. Suddenly stopping it or changing the dose may cause seizures to recur. Long-term use may make you dependent on it so consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

If both Klopam and quetiapine are used together the side effects may increase. The side effects which may appear are drowsiness, confusion, weakness, breathing trouble, and ataxia (loss of full control of bodily movements).

You should pay attention to any changes, especially sudden changes in mood, behaviors, thoughts, or feelings. Keep all follow-up visits with your doctor as scheduled. Call your doctor as needed, especially if you are worried about symptoms.

Klopam is not used as a sleeping pill, as it may cause difficulty in sleeping.

Both weight gain and weight loss have been reported with the use of Klopam. However, these are uncommon side effects of Klopam. Consult a dietician and follow a diet plan to maintain your weight.
