Is it normal to have dry mouth and heartburn with Clonazepam taken for anxiety for the past week? Should I take Clonazepam again if I threw up a little after letting it melt under my tongue? Am I at risk of Clonazepam overdose if I have lost weight?

For dry mouth, I have a little swollen tongue.

Good morning, ma'am.
Rivotril can indeed cause dry mouth on a regular basis. It is also possible that it irritates the stomach, but these 2 symptoms can also be exacerbated by the anxiety you feel, especially since you mention that you have lost weight considerably.
It is not recommended to melt the tablet in the mouth, it was not designed to be released in this way. The medication may begin to work 30 to 60 minutes after you take it, even if you swallow it.
You are going through a difficult time, and Rivotril, in the short term, can be a good tool to help manage your anxiety. However, you should not wait too long before turning to other options, as Rivotril helps with the symptoms of your anxiety, but not the source of it. Talk to your doctor if necessary, and/or a mental health professional.
Looking forward to hearing from you
