Klonopin (clonazepam): Klonopin (clonazepam) or Clonazepam is from a different family or pharmaceutical class than the other medication it is a benzodiazapine similar to diazepam.

See below;: It is important to note that discontinuing any of those medications abruptly puts a person with epilepsy at risk of increased seizure frequency. The same is only true for clonazepam in a person *without* epilepsy, and therein lies your answer: clonazepam works differently than the other two and is associated with withdrawal disorders, like alcohol and certain drugs.
