A member asked:
Why does clonazepam have very little affect on my moments of heavy anxiety? sometimes i get a little drowsy or cranky but most times i feel nothing
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Longer acting medica: Clonazepam is a longer acting benzodiazepine. It takes a while for it to take effect for anxiety, but it will cover anxiety symptoms for a longer period of time. The shorter acting benzo's treat anxiety much quicker, but have risk of seizure and serious problems with withdrawal of long time use.
