Abstract: 

Anxiety is a common occurrence in humans, and it appears in a variety of anxiety disorders, making it an essential clinical focus. Recent advances in nosology, epidemiology, and psychobiology have resulted in a better understanding of anxiety disorders. Advances in medicine and psychotherapy for these diseases have given patients reasonable hope for symptom alleviation and functional improvement. Prescription medications known as benzodiazepines are frequently used to treat anxiety because they slow down neural transmissions between the brain and body and enhance the activity of a brain neurotransmitter called GABA.In the benzodiazepine class of drugs, Clonazepam, Lorazepam, and Alprazolam are frequently prescribed for their sedative, anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant effects; however, each drug has unique qualities that make it appropriate for a variety of therapeutic uses.All three medications have the risk of tolerance, dependency, and withdrawal symptoms. Because of these hazards, they are typically recommended for brief periods of time. The purpose of this review article is to compare the effects of Clonazepam, Alprazolam and Lorazepam.
