Your Mom was on a benzo for a long time and at a decent dose. It's not surprising to me that she is experiencing withdrawals. I can't say that all of her symptoms are from the Klonopin, but some certainly could be. Some of the ones I've experienced are nausea and vomiting, tremors, trouble concentrating, aches and pains in my joints, blurred vision, and a general lack of energy. The vision problem she is having could be a withdrawal, but she should have it checked out by a doctor to find out for sure. While I'm on that subject, I'm not in the medical profession at all, and these are just my personal experiences. Anything I say should be taken with a grain of salt...

It sounds like your Mom may be becoming sensitive to sudden changes in light. Has she had a complete eye exam recently? Might be worth it to have them checked. Withdrawal from meds can do all sorts of weird things to our bodies. I'd be sure that her doctor knows exactly what is going on, he/she may be able to do something to help.

Please tell your Mom that I will keep her in my thoughts, and I hope this all passes for her very soon. You take care of yourself too.

All my best,
