Q: Klonopin side effects ?

Hello, I just switched from Xanax .25 mg after about 8 weeks to .5 mg of Klonopin. I understand dizziness is a side effect of Klonopin. Anybody else experience extreme dizziness and tirednesss after taking it? Also, does anybody know if it ever subsides as your body gets use to it? I think the feelings of dizziness may be making my anxiety worse. If I knew it would subside, I might be able to cope better.

did your dizziness ever feel more like a buzz in your head rather than a real dizzy feeling??

Yes, I know that buzzing feeling. I still get that every once it awhile. It feels like my head needs to pop and relieve the pressure, but I don't have a headache, just like my head is in high gear. Sometimes I get that feeling at the base of my skull. It is strange.
