A member asked:
What is a klonopin (clonazepam) paradoxical reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Opposite : Klonopin (clonazepam) is a CNS depressant medication and is classified as a benzodiazepine anti-anxiety med. What we would expect from this med is for it to calm someone down, help them relax and be less anxious/tense. Some have reported, however, that the become more restless and agitated. Hence, causing an almost opposite reaction than expected.
