Clonazepam (Benzo) side effects

I have been taking clonazepam (aka Klonopin) (1 mg) at night to sleep to prevent my shaking problem (that the doctors still don't know what is causing it). At first the clonazepam was hurting my kidneys, but then the pharmacy switched manufacturers and the problem went away. Don't believe that all generic drugs are the same!!!

I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced extreme agitation while taking this drug. When I wake up in the morning I feel agitated, frustrated and the need to take very deep breaths to calm down. Other than my blood pressure med and stomach med for gastric reflux, I'm down to only the clonazepam from the handful of meds I was on before when I had my neck injury. BTW... I'm 4+ months post-Oxy dependent. I'm going to stop taking it for a week and see if anything changes. Any ideas??
