How actually clonazepam works in the body
Being an anti-anxiety or anti-panic disorder
medication, the working of clonazepam acts by promoting the activity of GABA
(gamma amino-butyric acid). It is a neurotransmitter (a chemical substance that
helps in communication between two nerve cells), inhibiting or restricting
brain activity. GABA receptors have three different sites for binding
benzodiazepine; thus it binds to one of the sites and thereby activates the
GABA. As anxiety occurs due to the overactive thoughts in the brain due to
stress, overthinking, etc. Thus clonazepam provides a calming effect by
stopping the thought process of the brain.
