About
Klonopin, the brand name for clonazepam, is a medication primarily prescribed to treat seizures, panic disorder, and certain types of anxiety disorders. As a benzodiazepine, it works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that calms the brain's activity. Klonopin helps alleviate symptoms of anxiety, such as excessive worry, tension, and nervousness, by inducing a calming effect on the central nervous system. It is available in tablet form and should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional to minimize the risk of dependence and withdrawal symptoms.
