Why did you have to change your user name? (I must have missed the reason why).
Assuming your diagnosis is indeed "panic attacks", then yes, the Klonopin would still be a good choice.
So now you need to make a choice: (1) Take the drug as-needed (less effective), or (2) Take the drug everyday, twice daily at a dosage of 1/2 mg BID.
As with anything, there is a trade-off. The trade-off to taking Klonopin everyday is dependency. So you have to ask yourself: Do the benefits outweigh the risks? If they do, talk to your doctor about taking the drug everyday for maintanence of your anxiety. 1/2 mg BID is usuallly sufficient. In extreme cases, the dose can be increased to 1 mg BID.
