Are Insomnia,heart Palpitations And Chest Pain Withdrawal Symptoms Of Clonazepam?

hello, I recently went off clonazepam after taking it for 3 weeks (0,5mg daily). I tapered off over 3 days, it's been 4 days since my last dose. My physician said that I shouldn't experience withdrawal symptoms, but I'm suffering from severe headaches (and pain in other parts of my body), occasional heart palpitations and chest pain, insomnia, but most worrying are hallucinations of movement in peripheral vision. Also Im either depressed (in the morning mostly) or paranoid and anxious. I'm also experiencing fear of the dark for the first time since I was a child, which is unsettling (and embarrassing). I actually slept with lights on past two nights. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my sanity or at least Im afraid of that. Any idea how long will it take to get back to normal or is this serious or unusual reaction?
thanks
