More experiences with Klonopin/Clonezepin

Started taking Klonopin in October of 2010 and am experiencing the following:
1) Shortness of breathe, my major concern
2)  Blurry vision, even though I wear glasses there is a difference when I take them off.  compared to the time I did not start Klonopin yet.
3)  Tinnuitus.  but doesn't last that long.  
4)  Muscle tightness around the neck area
5)  Lump in throat
But out of all these symptoms so far I've been able to sleep for now.  I must also include that I do have my good days where I don't experience something new but those are short lived.

I was taking klonopin,It seemed to be helping me.As I was taking it I was getting a tight feeling in my chest and my anxiety symptoms increased.I went off the klonopin and started xanax.

Thanks Annie. I went the opposite way. I took Xanax 1st and then klonopin. I have to add it did well for my insomnia.

I went the same way as you--xanax first then klonopin. I didn\'t like the klonopin (made me more shaky and increased depressed feeling) and am now on valium which works the best for me. I take as little as possible. They only help you cope on the way to learning how to control/live with this monster.

Same with me. Klonopin messed my world up. I am on Ativan now which doesn\'t cause the horrible side effects I experienced with Klonopin. However, it still loses its efficacy after awhile.
