double vision with klonopin

First time posting, although I read many of the messages and find them helpful. I have a panic disorder as well as depression. Am on Effexor 150 mg per day, and 2 to 3 mg of Klonopin per day. Also have Xanax for the MAJOR panic attacks. Just started on the Klonopin and have noticed towards the end of the day I have double vision. Not severe, but enough to not be able to focus on things. Anyone else ever experience this? I'd really appreciate any feedback as I feel like I'm going crazy trying to get things under control.

Hi! Nice to see you posting. You are not alone, as you can tell from reading the posts. I hope you have gotten some help from the kind & caring folks who share here daily.


Not being a professional, I can't say what is causing your double vision. It is a rare side effect listed for klonopin, but we are all so different when taking meds. It could be the combination of your meds. Or something else entirely.
