I have read your posts before and responded in the past.
While I do think if you gave Klonopin another try, you may find it effective after some startup stuff, I think you have eluded that you thought maybe your other meds, such as a stim., could be adding to the anxiety issues you are experiencing.
Personally, I have not taken RX stims but OTC stim like medications do not fare well with my anxiety issues and tends to ramp all my symptoms way up.
Unfortunately, like so many times, meds that are quite useful for some disorders or aspects of disorders may worsen some of the other parts to problems. It's a Catch 22 and it's quite unfair.
Talk with your doc. Maybe you can lower your stim dosing and maybe the right benzo, or keeping your stim dosing as is and the right benzo....?
I do find Klonopin has a startup and time is needed to find a good maintance dose and good effectiveness.
