Addiction to Drugs/Drug testing (specifically mouth swabs)

Question
Does Klonopin  test positive for benzos?
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer
Hi Nikki,

Unfortunately I don't have much information about mouth swabs.  However, Klonopin is Clonazepam, which is a benzo.  So if it shows up other benzos, then it is likely to show this one?  

Why the concern?  Is your workplace testing for benzos???
