The synthesis of clonazolam was first reported in 1971 and the drug was described as the most active compound in the series tested.[7]
Depending on dose consumed, clonazolam may pose comparatively higher risk than other designer benzodiazepines due to its ability to produce strong sedation and amnesia at doses as small as 0.5 mg.[2][8]
