Hi dear,
for panic and anxiety there are many drugs which have no major side effects.
which kind of medication you are and having side effects?
for klonopin to withdraw you have to take long acting anti anxiety like SNRI SSRI group of medication. also counseling and psychotherapy works best in anxiety disorder
for further detail consult psychiatrist and discuss above matter.
