DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Clonazepam is an anti-anxiety medication in the benzodiazepine family, the same family that includes diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), lorazepam (Ativan), flurazepam (Dalmane), and others. Clonazepam and other benzodiazepines act by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter (a chemical that nerve cells use to communicate with each other) that inhibits brain activity. It is believed that excessive activity in the brain may lead to anxiety or other psychiatric disorders. Clonazepam also is used to prevent certain types of seizures.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 0.5, 1, and 2 mg. Disintegrating tablets: 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg.
STORAGE: Tablets should be kept at room temperature, between 15° and 30°C (59-86°F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Clonazepam is used for the short-term relief of symptoms of anxiety. It is used for certain types of seizures, specifically petit mal seizures, akinetic seizures, and myoclonus, as well as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Clonazepam maybe used alone or together with other medications for these seizure disorders.
DOSING: The dose of clonazepam is tailored to the patient's needs. For seizures in adults the initial dose is 1.5 mg daily in 3 divided doses. Dosage may be increased by 0.5 to 1 mg daily every 3 days until seizures are controlled or side effects preclude further increases in dose. The maximum dose is 20 mg daily. The initial dose for panic disorders is 0.25 mg twice daily. The dose may be increased to the target dose of 1 mg daily after 3 days.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Clonazepam, like all other benzodiazepines, accentuates the effects of other drugs that slow the brain's processes, such as alcohol, barbiturates, and narcotics and leads to increased sedation.

I'm assuming you want Prozac because your depressed. Just tell them the truth, and if they deem an antidepressant to be necessary, they'll probably prescribe one. If the doctor is unsure, he may send you to a specialist, I would imagine.
They won't just prescribe drugs if they aren't necessary though.

Personally I avoid all psychoactive medications, believing they cause far more problem then they solve. But that of course is just my opinion.
