I was on Klonopin for three years as monotherapy. No bad side effects. The beginning first two weeks or so I did expereince a little foggy thinking, lethergy, and sleepiness. After two weeks or so, all this passed and I was left with good anxiety control. I now use it as needed - which is rare - as my anxiety is controlled by another drug class.

I can't speak to the possible interactions or no interactions with the other two meds you listed. Do you have the same prescriber on all your meds or do all the prescribers know of what you are taking at the same time? I feel a doc or pharmacist should be your resource if you have concerns about the mixing.

If you can take seroquel you can take klonopin. Only side effect is that it can make some people more depressed. And you must be getting all your meds from the same doctor right? If not they should know what each is prescribing. Fondly, Phillipa
