I've been taking it for months and I have never had any bowel problems.

It would seem unlikely, although if "quite a bit of clonazepam" is quite a bit, I suppose it could idosyncratically "loosen" the region by its muscle relaxing potential but that seems highly likely as it is more likely to stabilize such things, especially anxiety-driven diarrhea. I would look to increased anxiety, a bug as mentioned, or possibly a relapse of a side effect of the other medications you're on.

Hi, I have been on clonazepam since 1993. I have never had diarrhea.
