I've been taking 1mg a day for three weeks. This morning I woke up with tiny little broken blood vessels - itchy in some spots - on my body. Is it a late allergic reaction to the meds or from last night Chinese food? One DR. says to stop the Klonopin (since it's only been 3 weeks) the other says continue...

Hey. I would suggest seeing your family doctor. They will be able to tell if your rash is a "drug rash" or an allergic reaction to the Chinese Food. They can tell just by looking at it.

I had this reaction after being on Lexapro for 3 days. I called the doctor who told me over the phone that it couldn't possibly be a rash from the medication. I suffered with the horrible itchy rash for over 2 weeks and even missed some work and finally went in to see the doctor to find out what the rash was from. At that time he said it WAS from the Lexapro and switched my medication. It's very possible you're having a reaction to the medication so I would definitely go in to see your doctor. Good luck.

chinese food can contain msg which to some can cause allergic reactions. also eating raw seafood can cause problems.
