Clonazepam is a generic prescription drug prescribed to adults diagnosed with either seizure disorders or panic disorder, but healthcare professionals may prescribe it off-label for other conditions such as anxiety, mania, insomnia, or restless legs syndrome. Clonazepam is usually taken two or three times daily as an oral tablet or orally disintegrating tablet, but the dose will vary. Clonazepam is an inexpensive drug, but a few savings tips can reduce its cost even further.
RELATED: What is clonazepam?
Is clonazepam covered by insurance?
Clonazepam is typically covered by health insurance, Medicare Part D, and Medicaid, but there may be restrictions. Because clonazepam is a benzodiazepine that can cause sedation and impairment, while also having a higher risk of dependence, older adults on Medicare Part D may have restrictions on coverage, such as quantity limits.
How much does clonazepam cost without insurance?
The clonazepam 0.5 mg price without insurance is $33 for 30 tablets. That’s a 15-day prescription for people with panic disorder and a 10-day prescription for people with epilepsy. Clonazepam is not intended as a long-term treatment for panic disorder, but people with seizure disorder may take clonazepam at a usual maintenance dose of 2-8 mg in 1 to 2 divided doses per day for months. No matter the treatment duration, the price per tablet for clonazepam works out to about $1. The annual cost of generic clonazepam therapy could be over $1,000.
Compare this to brand-name Klonopin, which costs $113 for 30, 0.5 mg tablets or $4 per tablet without insurance. A 30-day prescription of Klonopin could cost $220 to $340, depending on your dosage of two or three tablets per day. The annual cost of brand-name Klonopin without insurance could be around $4,000.
If clonazepam is too expensive, ask the prescribing healthcare provider about other treatment options. Clonazepam is used as both an anxiety medication and an anticonvulsant. It belongs to a family of drugs called benzodiazepines. These drugs control anxiety and seizures by slowing down the nervous system. One of the most common side effects of clonazepam and other benzodiazepines is drowsiness. Not all benzodiazepines have the same FDA indications. Many, however, are cheaper than clonazepam when purchased as generics.
For epilepsy, ask the prescribing healthcare provider about alternative generic anticonvulsants. Most generic anticonvulsants, however, are slightly more expensive than clonazepam. Some may not be suitable substitutes for clonazepam, so seek medical advice on the pros and cons of switching before making a decision.
Over-the-counter drugs, natural remedies, and dietary supplements may help ease temporary worry or stress, but they are not effective treatments for people diagnosed with panic disorder. They also should not be substituted for clonazepam or other anticonvulsants to control seizures.

How to get clonazepam without insurance
At an average cost of $33 for 30, 0.5 mg tablets, some people may find the price of clonazepam without insurance a challenge. As with other prescription drugs, there may be patient assistance programs, manufacturer coupons, or rebates that can help cover the cost, but these are rare for generic drugs and may have strict eligibility criteria. Here are some more dependable ways to find prescription savings:
1. Use a SingleCare savings card
With a SingleCare discount card, the price for 30, 0.5 mg generic clonazepam tablets can be as low as $9 at Food Lion Pharmacy. SingleCare’s clonazepam coupon page offers a variety of discounts at local participating pharmacies. SingleCare is free to use and available to everyone. Registered members can save even more, and it’s fast and free to join.
Save up to 80% on Clonazepam with SingleCare
Different pharmacies offer different prices for the same medication. SingleCare helps find the best price for you.
2. Compare pharmacy prices
You’ll find that filling prescriptions at different pharmacies often results in different prices. Clonazepam can cost more at one pharmacy than another. You can search for your prescription on singlecare.com and enter your zip code to compare drug prices at pharmacies near you before even leaving the house.
3. Ask the prescriber for a 90-day prescription
Another way to save money on some generic drugs is to fill a 90-day prescription rather than three 30-day prescriptions. Some pharmacies charge less per clonazepam tablet for larger prescription fills. So, make sure to check 90-day supply prices when price shopping. Keep in mind that clonazepam is a Schedule IV controlled substance. Although it’s legal for healthcare professionals to order 90-day clonazepam prescriptions, some may be cautious because of the potential for abuse and tolerance buildup.
4. Fill the prescription at a 340B provider
340B providers include hospitals, clinics, and community health clinics. They can purchase generic prescription medications at a discounted price and then pass the savings on to people with qualifying incomes. Ask the prescriber or local health officials for a list of local 340B providers.
5. Ask the prescriber about other benzodiazepines
If a mental health professional prescribes clonazepam for panic attacks, other generic benzodiazepines may be cheaper, especially when combined with a SingleCare savings card. For instance, generic Valium (diazepam) normally retails for $26 for 30, 5 mg tablets. With a SingleCare coupon, 30, 5 mg diazepam tablets can cost as little as $8 at Kroger.
6. Find out if you’re eligible for Medicaid
If you have a limited income, you may qualify for Medicaid. Visit your state’s Medicaid website or talk to a local health official about eligibility, enrollment, and additional information you’ll need.
7. Apply for Medicare Extra Help
Medicare Extra Help is a low-income subsidy that helps reduce Part D costs, including medication copays. If you have Medicare prescription drug coverage and your plan covers clonazepam, Medicare Extra Help could reduce the cost of your prescription even more.
