Panic: Depending on how often you endure a panic attack is the question. Generally speaking Clonazepam is dosed twice daily. If you are encountering more panic attack episodes than what your practitioner wrote the medication for, then there may a need for changes to be implemented that are more lifestyle changes. (stress management and a healthy diet with exercise.).

Not by itself, no: Clonazepam alone is not a sufficient treatment plan for panic attacks. It's a habit forming medication that is best used temporarily rather than permanently. Other medications such as ssri antidepressants are better at preventing panic attacks than intermittent clonazepam; they're also not habit-forming. Best of all is adding psychotherapy -- cbt is a well-studied form of this for anxiety.
