Hi, when I first started Klonopin I did get nausea but the med Tigan took it away-it worked well. Can you ask your doc for that to help with the nausea???
I have IBS and have been to H*** and back with diagnostic test after test for it and nothing except *resolving colitis* so I take Prevacid-that may help you too until you can find the dose of Klonopin that you can deal with. I really wish you the best and hang in there.
Believe me, I know it's uncomfortable.
Sorry.

Gradually into the second week, my stomach started to feel like it lost all ability to digest food; naturally, I became nauseous. I didn't take a dose yesterday at all, and I am going through withdrawal, though it's not severe.
