No clonazepam also called klonopin is in a class of drugs called benzodiazepines. It is in the same class as Valium (diazepam), Xanax (alprazolam) and Ativan (lorazepam). Benzodiazepines are anti-anxiety drugs and can become addictive when abused. Withdrawal can be fatal including seizures, convulsions, and should be detoxed under medical supervision. If you are going to take clonazepam for anxiety please take it responsibly! I am a registered nurse and have seen terrible effects of benzo addiction. It also severely increases your chances of developing dementia in your senior years.
