Oh gosh.. I'm so sorry and that sounds really scary. I'm so glad you're going to the ER and hope and pray they found out soon what's going on. Surely they will run neurological tests.

Yes, please keep us posted when you can.

there thinking this is the culprate my klonapin taper

Benzodiazepine withdrawal is characterized by sleep disturbance, irritability, increased tension and anxiety, panic attacks, hand tremor, sweating, difficulty with concentration, confusion and cognitive difficulty, memory problems, dry retching and nausea, weight loss, palpitations, headache, muscular pain and stiffness, a host of perceptual changes, hallucinations, seizures, psychosis,[1] and suicide[2] (see "Signs and Symptoms" section below for full list). Further, these symptoms are notable for the manner in which they wax and wane and vary in severity from day to day or week by week instead of steadily decreasing in a straightforward monotonic manner.[3]

How much klonopin were you on and where is Sly right now??

sorry.. but he's a member who knows all about benzo withdrawals..

have you been tapering off of the klonopin?

if that withdrawal is causing that shit.. ( sorry ).. then that is scary!

I take .5 mg xanax a day.. and I have heard that getting off of benzos is much worse than getting off of pain meds.

yikes.........


big hugs ~~
keep us posted please.

Glad to know there are no tumors or lesions, and that your concerns are being treated seriously.

Hoping they get to the bottom of this soon...

Thanks for the updates!

That's really scary: Did your doctor tell you that this might happen? Coming of Klonopin cold turkey or too fast can be deadly--it's actually an anti-seizure. Sure glad that you made it to the hospital.
Feel better
