Actually, it was probably the absolutely perfect first impression. The pdoc got to see just how severe your anxiety is first hand. They realized you need help with it and prescribed something that can help. I'd call that a good result.

If the Klonopin doesn't help or has side effects that you don't like, don't be afraid to tell the pdoc (or write it down and hand her your observations of how the med is/isn't helping). Sometimes, the first med tried isn't the right fit. My pdoc started me on klonopin, then switched to ativan, then switched me to xanax, which has been the ideal med for managing my anxiety.
