I do not enjoy taking any of my pills, but I do it because they make it easier for me to live and occasionally even thrive. If I did not take klonopin, I probably would be having panic attacks daily (like I was before I started taking it). The enjoyable part is the calm instead of the frantic panic. I've never had any kind of "high" or anything like that from a benzo... Just a mild calm feeling, like the same affect anything relaxing feels (a bath, a cup of tea etc) except the clam lasts much longer than just taking a nice bath.
