Clonazepam is an anti-anxiety medication from the benzodiazepine group of drugs that works by acting on receptors in the brain known as GABA. As a result, it increases the activity of GABA in the brain. GABA is a chemical that is responsible for regulating signals throughout the nervous system. When a person does not have sufficient GABA, they will find that their body is in an excited state which often leads to seizures or panic attacks. By taking clonazepam, your levels of GABA will increase resulting in fewer seizures and panic attacks.
