All benzodiazepines have anticonvulsant properties, its just a question of how strong they are.
I think Valium and Ativan (?) are used in ERs for seizure/convulsion situations.
Klonopin was probably (?) originally designed for epilepsy but its not exclusive for that and the dosages for it are wildly different than for psychiatry in general.
Valium possesses more (muscle) relaxant properties.
