Klonapin???????

I am thinking about asking my doctor to put me on Klonapin, I am now taking 1800mg of Gabapentin a day and have little relief from my anxiety. Does anyone think this might help me and what are some of the side effects? Thanks for any advice!!!!!!!!!!!  SICK OF THIS ANXIETY

Do you know anything about the side effects of the Klonopin? I've read on this forum that it really doesn't have that many. I have to be careful, as I am very medicine sensative. Thanks!!

Why if the Klonopin would be a better choice for me, would my phsycistrist not put me on this when I tell him every time I see him that my anxiety is not getting any better? He just tells me that I'm not trying hard enough to get better and I'm "all about my pain". He makes me feel that maybe he's right and I'm just not doing all I can to get better. Maybe I'm not. I don't feel like I can get better until this anxiety stops having control over my life. My husband feels like I'm trying really hard to get better,and that my dr. is just not working in my best intrest. I have bought books and have been reading to try and help myself. They talk alot about the anxiety dragon. How do you work around the dragon when all you do is fear him? I feel like I am living in limbo land until I get the right medication to help me move forward. I am a very bright and intelligent woman, at least I was until all this hit me. I don't even know if she's in there anymore. What does it take to crawl out of this anxiety hole? Please give me your best advice about this phsyciatrist,Thanks. Is he helping me or not?
