Although sometimes prescribed to relieve neuropathic pain, the class of drugs known as Benzodiazepines - which includes Clonazepam (aka Klonopin) can also cause neuropathy like symptoms.

If you've been taking Clonazepam prior to the start of neuropathy you may want to look into this being the reason.

Do not suddenly stop taking clonazepam. The withdrawal can be severe and a taper plan needs to be put in place.

Here's a link to more explanation:
