There is a gentleman who is advocating the use of clonazepam and magnesium for chronic fatigue syndrome. He believes that CFS is a result of mild overactivity of certain neurons in the brain.

Clonazepam might be neuroprotective in the sense that it could protect against excitotoxity induced by various neurological insults.

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
