Brief Answer:
What is the indication of this drug......

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Clonazepam is used for several different disease conditions and to make the exact call on what substitutes are best, we need to know what specific condition he has been using this drug for. Also, how much he takes daily and for what time duration is necessary. I will like to know whether he has had any other difficulties with this and whether he has ever tried to stop using this drug. If yes, did he have any challenges.

I hope to hear back from you at your earliest convenience and should be able to provide more insights about this and how to go about.
