Yes, your sleep can be severely disrupted when you cut back on clonazepam. I, too, have flu symptoms when my sleep is poor. I suspect I'll be on clon for the rest of my life...my shrink certainly thinks so. You could try a small dose of Remeron as a replacement for the clonazepam, and then, after a couple of weeks, wean yourself off that. You have to go several weeks med-free for your natural sleep architecture to reestablish itself. It's pure hell if you suffer from an anxiety disorder. Insomnia and anxiety often go hand in hand.
