kdoconnell2003 I was on Clemazopam on and off since January of 2018. I have used it steady (at .5 mg) for about a month now. I am withdrawing now, but I am experiencing blurry vision. I am taking Paxil 25mg CR and am now using Trazodone 50mg for sleep instead of Clemazopam.. A week ago my psychiatrist recommended melatonin at 9mg but it didn't work. Is there any discussion on blurred vision? Does melatonin cause blurred vision or is it the benzodiazapine? After withdrawing from a benzodiazepine, does your vision go back to normal? If so, how long does it take, or will it stay blurred?
