I took Klonopin for about a year and all of a sudden I began to fall. Not over things you'd regularly fall over, just a bit of a stumble and I'd fly. This would happen several times a day. I sat down one night, being frightened of this, and did some research, and one of the side effects for older people is "possibility of falling." I called my Psychiatrist the next day and I slowly weaned myself off of it. It worked great up until then, but I like to always read everything about a medication .... guess I missed that one initially. Barb
