A member asked:
Is clonazepam a muscle relaxer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Clonazepam is a long acting benzodiazepine. All benzodiazepines have anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, sedative, and hypnotic properties. So it does have muscle relaxant properties. That being said, it is not commonly used as a muscle relaxant.
