Clonazepam is <\/span>a <\/span>prescription drug<\/span> that is generic for <\/span>Klonopin<\/span><\/a>. It is prescribed to control <\/span>panic attacks<\/span> in adults diagnosed with <\/span>panic disorder<\/span><\/a> with or without <\/span>agoraphobia <\/span><\/a>(fear of being in a setting that is hard to escape) and <\/span>treats certain <\/span>types of seizures<\/span> in adults and children. As a <\/span>benzodiazepine<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>clonazepam<\/span> is a GABA-A agonist that increases the effects of <\/span>GABA, which calms brain activity<\/span>. Because it affects the central <\/span>nervous system<\/span>, <\/span>clonazepam<\/span> can have many <\/span>side effects<\/span>, including serious ones like drug abuse and dependence. For this reason, people should always be well-informed about <\/span>benzodiazepines<\/span> like <\/span>clonazepam<\/span> before taking the first dose, including <\/span>common side effects<\/span>, <\/span>serious side effects<\/span>, <\/span>drug interactions<\/span>, contraindications, warnings, and ways to take these drugs safely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
