Unusual: I have not heard this one before. Best to check with prescribing doctor and perhaps have further assessments.

I suggest to stop it: Bloody and cloudy urine are documented side effects from Clonazepam (Klonopin). I would recommend to stop taking this medication, and ask your doctor for other Benzodiazepines or alternative treatment, including psychotherapy.
