There's no "magic" dose of Klonopin (or anything else) -- it depends on the person. I do well with 1 mg/day and have for quite a while. But my pdoc says that several times that amount is often necessary for anxiety patients. I have noticed that taking the whole dose once a day (in the AM) seems more effective for me than dividing it into two or more doses, for whatever reason.
I've never responded well to SSRIs (although I haven't tried Lexapro or Celexa). Among other things, they make me very anxious, and despite what the doctors say, this never went away for me, even after months of use. My pdoc says that some people just aren't good candidates for these drugs, and recommends that I avoid them.
