What is clonazepam and how does it work?
Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine that works in the brain and nervous system to produce a calming effect. It is FDA-approved to treat certain seizure disorders, including Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, akinetic and myoclonic seizures, and absence (petit mal) seizures, either on its own or added to other treatment. It is also FDA-approved to treat panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia, in adults.
Clonazepam is the generic form of the brand-name drug Klonopin (also sold as the Klonopin Wafer). A generic medicine contains the same active ingredient and works the same way as the brand, but usually costs much less. This page is for general information and is not medical advice; your provider decides whether clonazepam is right for you.
How much does clonazepam cost without insurance?
Clonazepam is an established generic, so it is generally one of the more affordable options in its class when you pay cash. Still, the price you actually pay can differ widely between pharmacies in the same town, and insurance does not always give you the lowest price. Comparing cash prices is the honest way to make sure you are not overpaying.
With Rx.com you can compare clonazepam prices across more than 60,000 pharmacies and use a free discount coupon whether or not you have insurance. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price near you.

Important safety information
Clonazepam carries a Boxed Warning, the FDA's strongest warning. Like other benzodiazepines, it has risks of abuse, misuse, addiction, physical dependence, and life-threatening withdrawal. Taking it together with opioids can cause profound sedation, slowed or stopped breathing, coma, and death. Do not combine it with opioids, alcohol, or other medicines that cause drowsiness unless your provider tells you to.
Do not stop clonazepam suddenly, because abrupt withdrawal can cause seizures and severe symptoms; it should be tapered slowly under a provider's guidance. It commonly causes drowsiness, sedation, and impaired coordination, so avoid driving until you know how it affects you. There is also a class warning about suicidal thoughts or behavior with antiseizure medicines. Use extra caution if you are elderly or have liver or breathing problems. This is a summary, not a complete list of risks, and is not medical advice, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation.
