Clonazepam belongs to a group of medicines called benzodiazepines. It’s used to control seizures or fits due to epilepsy, involuntary muscle spasms, panic disorder and sometimes restless legs syndrome. It works by increasing the levels of a calming chemical in your brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Butabitil (Fioricet) is prescribed primarily for tension headaches, but can also be used for migraines or managing fever and pain in combination.
