Clonazepam has an intial 2 to 4 hour reduction in anxiety and a general relaxation of the body. Then it causes drowsiness in many people due to its long half-life. For me this is a great mechanism to keep me from taking too much, since taking higher doses of Klonopin than prescribed doesn't really alleviate my anxiety better, but makes me much much drowsier later in the day. But it isn't as potent as something like Xanax which my girlfriend says works much better for panic attack and high stress induced anxiety. I would say through my informal research that there are subtle differences between the benzos with some better for anxiety, some better for social phobia, and some with shorter half-lives for panic attacks.
