Absolutely,,,,,anti'd/s take about 2-4 wks to fully kick in.  Are you having anxiety...or full blown panic attacks?  do you have a counselor as well as a doctor?  klonopin IS strong.  Like xanax it can be a soul-stealer.  Maybe the doc can give you a lighter benzo along w/anti-d until it kicks.

how much do u take each day?   klonopin is a strong benzo..right up there with xanax..just longer acting and slower onset..best thing in reality is to find a healthy way to handle stress..exercise, meditaion, natural herbs and vitamins,,,find the source..counseling can help with that...why r u having panic attacks?
