If you had a stroke you would have had problems with walking, talking, balancing yourself, using your limbs, moving around, etc. Stroke is a medical emergency and when you have one it usually leaves you physically disabled to some degree. If you survive it that is. Also, stroke goes hand in hand with high blood pressure and Ive never heard you talk about having hypertension before.
It might have felt like you had a stroke when you went off the Klonopin, I dont doubt that. I know going off benzos can be painful as hell. Maybe when you went off the Klonopin the panic returned...panic attacks can feel like cardiovascular events. I think stroke is pushing it quite a bit. Did a doctor ever tell you that you had a stroke? They can tell quite easily if you have one of these intracranial CT scans with dye injected...I had one of these scans one time. Came back fine.
