Answer 4

Klonopin or clonazepam is a benzodiazepine medication used to treat many different conditions, most of them being off label use, that is to treat conditions that the FDA did not approve the drug to treat.

Klonopin has a long half life which means it stays with you quite a while.

It's used to treat everything from restless legs to anxiety and panic, irritable bowel and even chronic fatigue.

Lately, it seems to be handed out like candy for whatever ails you that the doctor doesn't want to get into determining a better therapy and it's a "catch all" treatment.

It can cause both mental and physical depression and it almost always cause either physical or psychological dependence.

It should be taken short term at the lowest effective dose until something else is found to take.
