How Might Benzodiapines (Ativan, Clonazapem) help with ME/CFS?

[fst]

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine)

It doesn't seem very similar to Benzodiazepines though — mostly working via Serotonine and also some effects on Histamine, Adrenaline and Acetylcholin.

(Of course not questioning your friend's experience)

It was a useful aid for nonrestorative sleep.

My ME prescribed amitriptyline for me but it made me feel awful, but it works well for others with ME. We don't know what works unless we try it.
