I hope you find relief :-)
Anyway, I don't see the big deal, personally. You could just try a higher Klonopin dose, I guess...maybe 3+2, 2+1+2, 3+3, something like that. I'm not a doc.
My only concern would be long term xanax use. Not a huge problem for a lot of people, but for some people...not so great. Maybe Ativan?
Klonopin can cause depression. Most (all?) benzos can, but they're quite useful, anyway. Xanax helps some cases of depression.
I wouldn't stress. If you stay within your prescribed dosage and try to resolve whatever is causing your intense panic/anxiety and then work out a taper plan when you're ready and able, I think you'll be OK.
I found that taking high dose niacinamide (with high dose c and a b-100 complex) helped tremendously, with or without a benzo (in my case, Klonopin day time and Ambien @ night). I take 3+ grams daily, in 2 doses.
Good luck!
