Problems with clonazepam
It has been quite some time since I posted on this site ! I´m looking for more information about the ´energizing´ properties of Klonopin-clonazepam. Supposedly, due to an effect of clonazepam on the mitochondria, this drug would be energizing. Dr Cheney is often listed as a source... -

Adenosine triphosphate. I wonder, does anyone know anything about the effect of clonazepam on atp, or perhaps more broadly about the effects on the mitochondria in general ?

Problems with clonazepam
Since I'm new at this forum it will take some effort to phrase my question in an appropriate way. It's not even about sleep in particular, but I need to put this post somewhere. I've never been formally diagnosed with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue. However, I've been taking clonazepam for a...
