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?

No my GP gave me the klonopin but he says it is addicting and that I should try to not take it. My mind races with thoughts all night when I try to sleep and my body jerks when I am trying to fall asleep. Tuesday I had a panic attack. I have been on klonopin before at 1mg for 6 years and weaned myself off in a week when I was starting school bc I thought I didn't need it. My mom was killed in a car accident. I am now having anxiety and panic attacks, insomnia, racing thoughts, a really hard time concentrating, depression, not wanting to do anything but stay home. I am afraid that something is going to happen to my kids, when I see a wreck on my way home from work, I think maybe its my husband and my kids. If my son goes outside to play and I cant find in quick I think he has been kidnapped. I haven't slept a solid night through in over 2 years.
