Hello,
Klonopin should not cause chills. It is a sedative drug and can cause sedation, fatigue and mental slowing but it should not cause chills. It could cause jitteriness in withdrawal from it but should actually lessen jitteriness while you are taking it. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms.
