** 1. Clonazepam is used to treat panic attacks and also as an anti convulsant [since xanax was used earlier, hopefully it is given as an anxiolytic] 2. because clonazepam cause dependency issues,you should talk to your doctor before reducing or discontinuing this medication. [by slowly tapering off ]
