Are you still taking the clonazapam?
Ataxia is a common symptom when using Benzos, especially when you’re older. Older folks don’t metabolise these meds like we did when we were younger. Especially the Benzos with long half lives, Valium. One reason why Benzos are not recommended for the elderly. The fall risk becomes much greater.
