I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I am currently tapering off of Klonopin too. Many people have no idea how hard some of this stuff is to get off of. Klonopin has a particularly long half life compared to many of the benzo's. This is great when your taking it but it sucks when you are coming off of it. I have been tapering off for about two months and it seems like everytime I reduce the dose more, I go through the withdrawal all over again. I tend to get dizzy, forgetful, less appetite, and have had some muscle pain. I also tend to feel like I am hot at times. I see you are taking Lexapro, I tried that for a while last year but didn't have much success with it as it made me extremely tired. My doctor switched me to Paxil and that seems to have worked better. I hope you start to feel better and I sympathize with what you are going through.
