What dose of klonopin are you taking?

How often and how regular?  

Also for how long have you been on klonopin?

I get dizzy/lightheaded all the time.  I was (still kind of am) convinced it's cause of my heart, but Dr's say it's not my heart.  I'm TRYING to beleive them, but I'm not only a phobic person but I'm also an ultra hypochondriac.  

In short I think the dizzy spells you are having can absolutely be from your anxiety.  I say this because often (but not always) a klonopin will make the dizziness go away.  So it definitely seems like when I'm chilled out I'm not dizzy.  You know what helps get rid of my dizziness even more?  Happiness and laughter.  Sure we can't get that in a pill (well you can, but ...lol you shouldn't).  Anyway at times I'm happy and laughing...never am I dizzy.

Anxiety and panic can cause many symptoms in my experience with it.  In my opinion, many of us describe being dizzy for numerous reasons and it can be a quite common 'symptom' of anxiety and panic.  Are you you in counseling right now as well for you anxiety?

Many of us that have anxiety also get dizziness. It could be your allergies or a possible ear infection going on though. Can you get in to see your Dr? How long have you been taking Klonopin? It could be that you need a med increase or a new med. Talk to your Dr about all of these things.
