Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine. It works by enhancing the action of GABA, a neurotransmitter in the brain which reduces nerve activity. This results in a calming effect which reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation.
Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. As a medication, it mimics these effects, indicating to your body that it is time for sleep. This can help you fall asleep faster and improve the quality of your sleep. Together, clonazepam and melatonin work synergistically to manage anxiety, induce calmness and improve sleep patterns.
