No interaction concerns.
Sounds as if you took too much ativan to start or you just may need it PRN if panic seems to be breaking through. OR xanax may be a better alternative.
If you want to try the ativan or xanax full time along with the klonopin, just spread out the doses of whatever you decide on (ativan or xanax) and in very small amounts at first so that you achieve steady state theraputic levels of both the longer and shorter half-life bzds.
Only your body will be able to tell you if you have taken too much or too little. It takes awhile to determine how much is too much and so on. It also takes awhile for the sedating effect to wear off leaving behind the theraputic, anxiolytic effect.
You may eventually determine that the klon dosage is good enough and to rely on xanax or ativan PRN for heightened anxiety or panic.
