Pala,
Eventually the dizziness I experienced went away, but that may have been because I was taking Ativan at the same time...so it took the edge off the withdrawl symptoms.On another note, I have started taking Klonopin again, and find myself rendered useless, as you mentioned. It is hard for me to find motivation to get up in the morning because I am so sleepy and drugged up from it. But, I do have to admit that is really is a good anxiety reducer. Let me know how things are going for you.-
Elle> > Sounds pretty typical of the withdrawl symptoms of Klonopin. I went off it for a while cold turkey...BAD IDEA. I had awful nightmares and headaches, bascially everything you described. You should taper it off gradually. Talk to your doctor about it.
