Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.

I think, you have anxiety disorder with insomnia. In that case, you can try any sedative antidepressant like mirtazapine or trazodone. With these drugs, you would not get anxiety side effects. These drugs would help you to get sound sleep and to control anxiety symptoms. It would also help to maintain the dose of klonopin. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. Rest, you can discuss with your psychiatrist.

In case, you have more query, you can ask.
