Yes, I took these for Fibro. They can improve sleep quality and also have a muscle relaxant effect. They are usually used for Fibro at very low doses and often at bedtime only, which reduces the risks of dependence that many GPs worry about.

I have been on Clonazepam for about 5 years to help me get to sleep. Their primary use is for Epilepsy. In low doses at bedtime for fibromites it helps reduce the electrical activity in the brain enabaling them to get off to sleep (cos fibromites have busy brains firing off more electrical activity at night than non fibromites). Staying asleep is another matter altogether :-)

You should NOT stop taking this medication suddenly as it can cause seizures. Stopping this drug should be done under the supervision of your GP or specialist.
