Hi K,
>.......nausea, dizziness, supersensitivity to light, sound and touch etc. It felt like I'd just stuck my hand in an electric socket......
These are all common benzo withdrawal symptoms. Klonopin withdrawal could cause these symptoms.
>My questions to you are whether Klonopin is different enough from other benzos to have totally different withdrawal effects and whether people are usually able to get off of it faster than they might from other benzos.
Klonopin seems to have similar withdrawal symptoms to other benzos. It's usually a bit easier to taper than Ativan due to its longer half life. The tapering period should be similar in length to other benzos though.
