I don't understand.
Do you see a psychiatrist currently (the person who prescribed the Clonopin), or is that a GP?
The way to know is to ask. If my doctor prescribed me a medication that wasn't working well I would tell him and see if the dose can be increased or a different medication prescribed.
The best thing for anxiety disorders though is TALK THERAPY with a psychologist. Have you given talk therapy a try?
