I have:
Intractable Complex Partial Epilepsy with loss of
consciousness

I currently take:
Zonegran 500 mg daily & Klonopin 1.5 mg daily
along with Folate (Vitamin B-9) 2 mg daily

Klonopin (Brand) Clonazepam (Generic) is a Benzodiazepine
aka Benzo or Benzos. It has no effect on me at all and is
well tolerated with me.

Benzodiazepines Family has a very large Tree:
This website below will give you more information than I can
provide you - keep in mind, the list of drugs provided there is
only a small list:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzodiazepines

It is interesting reading.

Many Doctors revert to Benzos when their patients are
unable to tolerate Barbiturates; such as Phenobarbital,
which is hardly used anymore. Benzos are MILDER than
Barbiturates.

Hope this info helps.
