Hi,
Thanks for using HealthcareMagic
Clonazepam is in the family of medicines called Benzodiazepines. Unless there is no choice, none of these medications are typically recommended for the long term.
This is because they are addictive and cause tolerance (need more and more of the medication for the same effect) and a person can become dependent on them.
I hope this helps
Take Care
