Inefficient choice: .. but you need to ask your doctor exactly what he/she intends for you to do. If you have pre-existing risks of seizure, then you should have been on seizure preventing medications, of which clonazepam is not one. I would advice against taking clonazepam for the pure reason of preventing seizures.
