[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 174217, member: 1498"] Clonazepam is an benzo which is also used as an anticonvulsant. My understanding is that it is used in emergency situations to bring convulsing patients out of seizures. I've heard of it mostly used to bring people out of seizures related to alcohol withdrawal. It isn't generally used for the long term because people develop a tolerance and it is highly addictive. Most clonazapam is prescribed for anxiety and panic attacks which are not off-label uses. Dilantin was the first anticonvulsant used to treat behavioral issues. There were a lot of small studies on it as far back as the late 1940's. But then, behavior issues all became psychological, not neurological, problems in the 60's and people tossed aside what was learned about Dilantin. [/QUOTE]
