Klonopin (clonazepam): is an excellent medication for treating the SYMPTOMS of anxiety and panic, however it only treats the symptoms and your body can become tolerant to its effects over time so you may require higher doses. If you have general anxiety disorder, then you should ask your doctor for medications that may help restore neurotransmitter levels, like serotonin, which has been shown to be helpful in anxiety.
