I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

Kindly share what surgery was performed on you and under which type of anesthesia (Regional,general or local).
What are you taking klonapin for ?
Is it for anxiety disorder or seizures or something else.
Do you have any other co morbidities like heart disease,obesity,hypothyroidism,obstructive sleep apnoea(OSA) etc?

These information s would help me to evaluate your case and to guide you accordingly.

Waiting for your revert.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.

Thanks for sharing.

In my opinion,if you do not have any residual sedation of anesthesia,you can very well continue with your dose of klonapin (which you are taking for panic attacks).

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
