Yes Klonopin does do that to me, and Valium will calm me down but make me depressed, which is why I don't take them anymore.

Maybe a switch to ativan or something? Talk to your doctor, but you're not alone on that one. Benzo's have terrible side effects for me.

Feel better! ~FP

Yes - when I was on clonazepam, it often made me dizzy when I took too much. How much are you on ?

All depends on the MG 's your on.. i take 1 mg for emergency's only and? i mainly take it before bed only if i need too

Yeah it sometimes does make me dizzy, even more so since they changed the dose on me. Now I feel even more dizzy.

Another thing is that I am trying very hard to cut back on it because I have been on it so long and have become addicted to it honestly. One thing I wonder is if my going off it is what is causing more dizziness.

Benzo withdrawal is hell. If you are cutting back and just getting dizzy, count yourself lucky!

Since I am a new member of Daily Stength, you'll forgive me if I come to this discussion so late. But as I am a Klonopin patient and have been for years it is VERY important to never, ever take yourself off this drug or any Benzo without the guidance of a Doctor. If not done properly you can get extremely ill, you can even have seizures and hallucinations. You have to come down from Benzo's very slowly. I once was out of town when I ran out (I thought I was covered...I didn't expect to be away for so long), I could not get a local Doctor to prescribe and ended up in the ER in a terrible mess.
I have suffered from extreme Anxiety Disorder since I was a teenager and this has been a very effective drug for me. I am allowed 1mg. 3 times a day (but often don't take that much) and my dosage has never changed. It has the longest 1/2 life of any benzo and that makes it a good drug also. But insofar as coming off of it, PLEASE do not do it alone. Any good Doctor will write a schedule for gradually reducing it.
