Thanks for info and advice to both of you. My symptoms of PTSD are almost completely in remission so I'm not worried about being completely symptomatic and struggling with that. I do still have anxiety at times and since I am taking very activating medications, plus the fact that I have taken Klonopin for so long leads me toward continuing to maintain the current dosage. I don't feel overly sedated at any time.

As far as the suggestions, yes, I do meditation and Tai Chi, journal quite a bit, avoid alcohol, do not watch TV except for the news, have a very simple life that is quiet, and am for a while now paying special attention to diet and exercise. There is room for improvement. I am trying to find time to include creative activities to balance my obligations, which I actually enjoy working on, but still people do need outlets and the ability to play. A work in progress.
