Yes, it would appear that it does.
Klonopin, due to it's anti-excitatory effect, can protect neurons, from repeated excitatory responses.
This means that it helps the brain to stop being constantly "primed" from sensory overload and too much stimuli, causing "neuro-toxicity", which can be destructive.
Dr. Paul Cheney has devised a treatment plan for CFIDS patients, that includes Klonopin treatment.An interesting article that explains his theory can be found at: www.immunesupport.com/library/showarticle.cfm/id/3154
