care of google:
Clonazepam's pharmacological profile is similar to other anxiolytic/sedative benzodiazepines. Its basic anticonvulsive properties are also similar to those of other diazepines. Clonazepam is capable of suppressing the spike and wave discharge in absence seizures (petit mal) and decreasing the frequency, amplitude, duration and spread of discharge in minor motor seizures.
Clonazepam is well absorbed orally with maximum blood concentrations occurring in 1 to 2 hours. Clonazepam is metabolized by the liver to inactive metabolites, which are excreted mainly in the urine. Less than 0.5% of a dose is excreted in the urine unchanged and from 9 to 27% of a dose may be excreted in the feces. The half-life of the parent compound varies from approximately 18 to 50 hours
Alone or as an adjunct in the management of myoclonic and akinetic seizures and petit mal variant (Lennox-Gastaut syndrome). May also be of some value in patients with absence spells (petit mal) who have failed to respond to succinimides.
Up to nearly 33% of the patients in some studies have shown a loss of anticonvulsant activity, often within the first 3 months of clonazepam administration. In some cases, dosage adjustment may re-establish efficacy.

Think of it as weak xanax. They are very nice especially if you drink a beer or two. I have a prescription too sometimes - wink wink nudge nudge. Not as good as xanax or valium but still nice none the less.

Benzodiazepines are a class of gabaminergic psychoactive chemicals, such as alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium), clonazepam (Klonopin) and the like. In the United States, most are Schedule IV and illegal to possess without a prescription or license. Most pharmaceutical names in this class end in "pam" or "am".
INDICATIONS :
Benzodiazepines, as a class, are prescribed for a huge variety of problems, with the most common being anxiety, insomnia, and stress. Benzodiazepines tend to be better suited to infrequent use for acute situations rather than long term management of chronic symptoms.
