> Jamie,
> Thanks for the imput. I am familiar with the benzo withdrawl literature-that's why I am concerned about my dizziness/vertigo. I have been withdrawing very slowly and carefully. I have been stalling at .5 for a couple of months now, so I don't think my symptoms are withdrawl related.
> Has anyone heard of prolonged use of klonopin causing dizziness/vertigo?
> concerned,
> RussAnything is possible, but also remember that for many the last bit of benzo withdrawl is usually the very hardest. I will also say this: I have heard ...that when withdrawing from benzos - the effects can be likend to the idea that something is very drastically wrong in your body when in fact it is either acute withdrawl or once off the drug, protracted withdrawl. In other words it can make you feel like a hypo-chondriac. Not saying you are because vertigo and dizziness are absolutly horrific in and of themselves- try going back up to 1 mg and see what happens if the vert and dizz. get better or subside then you will need to go on a much slower withdrawl. Hope this helps and good luck
