I've always been curious about this benzo.
When I was collaborating on the benzo.org
(UK) group, I noticed that it is not in
circulation in the United Kingdom, at least
not during the work that Dr. Heather Ashton
was doing. I also did not see it in the
books by Charles Medawar.It is specified as having a particular
use for epilepsy and seizures - now why
would this benzo be specialized for
this disorder more than the others?p.s. the wording of drugs is a peculiar
thing -- the older names seems to have some
semantic significance unlike the new ones,
and i wondered if "clonazepam" had something
to do with "clone" of the "pam" suffix of
most benzodiazepines.The chemist who made it must know exactly
what is peculiar about this benzo.Squiggles
