Thank you so much for replying. I actually was only taking .5mg for 7 months but noticed body tremors after 4 to 6 weeks of being on the drug. Then the daytime body buzzing started in along with major eye nerve twiching which I could not see happening when looking in the mirror. Went to opthamologist and he said my eyes were perfect for guy of 65 in particular. The eye stuff stopped after discontinuing drug. Tremors seemed to mostly disappear but body buzzing still there from time to time although better than it was a month ago. I've been very healthy my entire life so this threw me for a loop. Sleep doc prescribed it for sleep disorder and my regular doc was not happy when I mentioned it to him. Neither doc understood the tremors although regular doc said it could be a result of that nasty benzo. A larger dose would have put me in a wheelchair I'm sure as it was doing a number on my central nervous system. Best to you!

Believe me, I feel for you! I am in your age group and this was prescribed to me also for sleeping issues. Hopefully with time we can both get back to normal. Don’t know why they prescribe Klonopin without telling the patient all possible side effects not to mention the extreme difficulty to quit. It makes me very angry. I was also fairly healthy before all this.
