Yes: Clonazepan was introduced as a medication for seizures. It also used as an anti anxiety and to help people who are having difficulty getting to sleep. In low doses it is a safe medication , .

Clonazepam: It is safe to take in the short term but it is an addictive medication that should not be used long term. You should try to develop ways of calming yourself instead of relying on a medication in the long run. Consult with a mental health professional if it continues so you can develop lasting ways of sleeping soundly best.
