I still think you should get a referral to a Neurologist to get checked out and rule out stroke. I really do. Because I see you constantly refer to this "stroke/seizure" incident you believe you had on klonopin withdrawal. You seem to believe you had a stroke actually. I think you should get the brain scan to rule it out, satisfy your curiosity. Also, when it comes back normal showing no stroke ever happened, you could then stop saying the Klonopin withdrawal caused you to have a stroke.I fear you saying this sort of thing online would scare off someone with severe panic disorder who badly needs benzos to control it. I just think if you claim you had a stroke, you should put your money where your mouth is and get the requisite diagnostic test under a NEUROLOGIST.
BTW, if you really had a stroke you most likely would have died if you were not hospitalised immediately. Or at least have been left partially paralyzed. I hope you get my point...a stroke is a very serious medical emergency and without immediate hospitalisation and medical treatment most people dont even survive stroke. Both my grandparents on my dad's side had major strokes. It about killed both of them. They both had to be hospitalised IMMEDIATELY and spent a good amount of time in the local hospital. Without hospitalisation, I seriously doubt either one of them would have even lived. I hope you see my point.
