Clonazepam, a medication belonging to the benzodiazepine class, is primarily used in the treatment of various anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and seizure disorders such as epilepsy. Identified chemically as 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one, this medication works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. By increasing GABA activity, clonazepam helps to produce a calming effect on the nervous system, making it useful in managing symptoms of anxiety and agitation, preventing seizures, and alleviating panic attacks.
