Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Central's Anxiety Community.

 

I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.

 

Weight gain with clonazepam can occur in a small number of patients, however, this is not a common side effect of this medication.

 

I previously wrote a post: Antidepressants and Weight Gain that may give you some ideas on how to combat the weight gan you may be experiencing.
