Hi... I hope it is prescribed by a Psychiatrist after proper examination and not by a regular Physician. If a Psychiatrist has prescribed it, please trust his professional acumen or consult another Psychiatrist for second opinion if you have any doubts.
Clonazepam is a SSRI that works by increasing the overall effect of GABA chemicals in our brain which produces relaxation.
Next Steps
Start her Psychotherapy/Counselling to address her issues. Medication and Therapy go side-by-side.
