Permanent balance issues and tremors don’t seem likely after a 6 day taper, maybe a rapid cessation of benzos? Certainly a response to a fast taper rather than a very slow, gradual one that is advised. It sounds like you might now be taking clonazepam again so hopefully those issues resolved for you. I had balance issues that I didn’t realize were due to clonazepam until I was off it. No falls in over a year. Good luck on keeping a doctor in the loop with prescribing it for you.

There is no doubt that for many benzos do cause balance issues. I had none before the quick stoppage of klonopin. Now I have it now and it's still an issue 10 years later. Coincidence? Dr's. Can't say. I am taking it because I need it. So it may never be better. Won't know because I have no intentions of stopping it. Point is taper slowly if you stop for many reasons.
