I've been taking Clonazepam (Klonopin) since 1987. At first when I took it I felt an enormous sense of relief because my terrible anxiety would just disappear. Now I don't notice much of an effect from it, but my pdoc says I should continue to take it. From time to time I quit taking it for a month or so to see if the good feelings would come back but they don't. When I go off it I have a bad headache for 2-3 days and then I feel ok. So I'm not sure if it helps me now or not.
