Anxiety
"I think Klonopin is the bottom-of-the-barrel of benzodiazepine anti-anxiety/anti-panic medicines. This is from personal experience with it &amp; other benzodiazepines. Klonopin, for one thing, lacks the muscle-relaxant effect that&#039;s an additonal benefit of other benzodizepines such as Valium (diazepam). But what&#039;s worse is that Klonopin caused me to lose 2 jobs. It has this strange effect of prompting me to &#039;speak my mind&#039; -- a little too much! Not the case with Valium, which has a much more pleasant effect. With further research I found out that Klonopin was intially marketed for seizure disorders *only*. But, because it didn&#039;t sell well for that, the company basically pushed into the anti-anxiety market. There&#039;s much better out there."
