Abstract in brief

  • The review examines how effective and tolerable oral clonazepam monotherapy is for people newly diagnosed with epilepsy, comparing it to placebo or other medications.
  • Researchers searched multiple medical databases up to September 2021 to find randomized controlled trials involving clonazepam for epilepsy treatment across different age groups.
  • The key outcomes assessed included seizure freedom rates, response rates (at least 50% reduction in seizures), adverse events, and rates of treatment discontinuation due to side effects over periods up to 24 months.

@euthymiatech Apart from there being plenty of people with epilepsy harmed by benzos (the founder of Benzos Buddies, Colin, is one of them), there's also little to no evidence that they work at all, per Cochrane. https://t.co/Atx73j9Jou https://t.co/KcbKZjScpl.
