Clonazepam, often sold under the brand name Klonopin, is a prescription medication that belongs to the benzodiazepine class of drugs. It works as a central nervous system depressant, helping to treat conditions like anxiety, panic disorders, and certain types of seizures by enhancing the calming effects of the neurotransmitter GABA in the brain. While effective for managing these conditions, it can cause side effects, and there's a risk of dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms if not used properly.
