Well, I'm not sure if my situation will help you at all, but I'll explain a little. I currently take clonazepam for PLMS (periodic limb movement syndrome) and in some ways for my RLS (restless leg syndrome - I take methadone for the RLS specifically). It helps me get to sleep and stay asleep, when I'd normally wake up a handful of times in the middle of the night. Though, I've been avoiding to take my full script every month to help avoid physical dependence, which I have (2mg/day - .5mg around noon and 1.5mg 2 hours before bed is what I am scripted). I generally "get ride of" 20-30mg a month, leaving myself with 30-40mg which I usually use in 2-2.5 weeks. I then take the next 2 weeks or so off till my script is supposed to be refilled. Not everyone may be as lucky as me to not feel any negative effects from stopping clonazepam every month after 2 weeks of use. I'm happy with the way I do it. Its been working out fine for almost 12 months. 11 months of use and no physical dependence hehe. It also helps limit my tolerance growth, which after a few months started to remain constant.
