I have been rx-ed clonazepam for anxiety/panic attacks by a psychiatrist since March 2009. I have the same daily headaches too, both before and after the medication. I went to see a General Practitioner a couple of months ago about this and she basically told me that my headaches were due to stress, gave me a muscle relaxer and told me that the next step is to get an MRI which is not an option for me since I do not have health insurance. She basically couldn't do anything for me. So I am stuck.

Yes. Headaches can be a result of hypertension, jaw clenching, lack of sleep or stress in the brain and body. Usually there are accompanying symptoms of anxiety though, like tight muscles, rapid heart beat, shallow breathing, sweating, panic attacks and so on. If headaches are your only feelings of discomfort, I would suggest getting your eyes checked or try brainstorm other reasons you might suspect would be causing them.
