Klonopin is a benzodiazepine primarily used in the treatment of seizure and anxiety disorders. This drug may also be used to treat movement disorders, Restless Leg Syndrome, relieve trigeminal neuralgia, atypical, akinetic, myoclonic, or absence seizures, etc. The precise mechanism by which Klonopin exerts its antiseizure and antipanic effects is unknown, although it is believed to be related to its ability to enhance the activity of GABA. Klonopin was approved by the FDA in 1975 and it is also one of the top 200 drugs prescribed in the United States.
Other common brand names: Rivotril® (clonazepam)
