Default Paresthesia: pins and needles/ pricking all night long

Hi,
After I took my regular dose of Klonopin, pins and needles started on my face on my face. I tried to go to sleep, but I freaked a little as it spread to my hands, feet, arms, legs, and everywhere else. Also, the sensation got more intense and moved to pricking.
I last had this over a year ago. I usually stay up to see what is going to happen and to talk to my self to convince myself that everything is ok, but it was harder to do that this time with my work and sleep worries.

I eventually did fall asleep but kept waking up with the rain outside and constant pricking inside. It is better now (8 hours after I took the Klonopin) but I am still kind of worried.

I want to ask the pdoc to help me go off the Klonopin. I hope that it is a Klonopin thing.

I was in an ER the first time this happened.They said that I was ok.

Later, the neuro/pdoc ordered an EEG and MRI over this. He said I was ok except for an anomally on the left side of my brain.
