> I think Klonopin is more sedating that Ativan.
Depends who you talk to.
> Ativan is different from other benzodiazepines because of its metabolism.
This is true, and as a result it's the preferred benzo for people who have liver damage (e.g., alcoholics).
> Klonopin is also an anticonvulsant?
All benzos are anticonvulsants. I've been given IM or IV Ativan in the hospital a couple of times.
