klonopin dosage and interactions

hey everyone.
i've been on klonopin since feb 08'. I take . 25 mg in the am then again in the pm. I was wondering if its possible to get too use to the med and it not helping anymore. I will have a lot going on starting next month and im afraid that my low dose wont help keep my anxiety down. should up my dose and if so, when?

the other take i took .5 mg in the am just to see how i would react and i felt really dizzy & not myself, so the next day i went back down to .25 mg.

also, im having sugery in a few weeks and im concerned that the pain meds that i will be given will interact witht he klonopin?

i would greatly appreciate feedback! thanks

I am down to 1.125 mgs of klonopin a day from 2 mgs.  I have been taking my time.  Is it going to get harder when my dose goes below the 1mg. a day.  I am afraid the panic attacks will come back.  I am on Celexa and Buspar to replace the Klonopin.  So far I have had anxiety, but no panic attacks. I was on the Klonopin for five yrs. I was told that you do build a tolerance and my new doctor hates benzos because of liver damage and addiction problems. I have  been cutting .125mg every couple of weeks.
