Is Severe Giddiness And Pain In Leg A Side Effect Of Clonazepam?

Hi, I have been taking Clonazapam for the past 20 years. I am now only taking .5mg when needed. I have noticed that when I go to bed a night I get extreme giddiness and my legs feel like I wanna get up and run. I have actually gotten up and jogged in place which helps. When I try and fall asleep I get extreme and quick anxiety in my gut but it doesn t last, it s just a really weird feeling but not any panicky feeling. Is this in part of decreasing this drug? I would like to go off it completely but when I go several evenings without it the above symptoms happen at night only.
