Members shared mixed experiences with clonazepam for muscle pain and tightness, with some finding it helpful for spasms and relaxation while others reported it primarily helped with anxiety or sleep rather than muscle symptoms. Several members described their experiences combining clonazepam or similar medications like Lyrica with gabapentin, noting varying levels of effectiveness and side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and vision problems, with magnesium supplements frequently mentioned as a complementary option for muscle spasms. A recurring theme was the highly individual nature of fibromyalgia treatment, with members emphasizing that what works wonderfully for one person may not help another at all, and the importance of working closely with doctors to find the right combination and dosage.

Hi Lauren, I take Lyrica, Targin and Panadine Forte ... at night I take magnesium to relax my muscles and an antihistomine called Allersoothe 25 as I have allergies but it also helps me sleep. Hope this info helps you. Its such a battle I know. x

Thank you. Do you mind if I ask you what dose you are on and if you take during day and at night? Worried about feeling drowsy during the day and it affecting driving.
