13 beans,
I think that your mother is suffering from withdrawl symptoms. Visual disturbances seem to be common on this forum(I guess sensitivity to light would be included). Dizziness is also included as a possible side effect of the drug, but I'm not sure as a withdrawl symptom(definatly possible).
3mg is a decent size dose. It takes the brain along time to adjust to the withdrawl. The GABA neurotransmitters that klonopin act on need to find balance again. Maybe she is comming down to fast. Tell her not to rush it.
Best wishes
