As with all of these meds, there's tremendous individual variation in effective dose. I do very well with 1 mg/day Klonopin for anxiety, but my pdoc considers this a very low dose and is surprised it works so well for me at this dose. I like K very much, so I'd recommend that you try more (under your doctor's supervision) before writing it off. Some people take several mg/day.
If it doesn't work (I'm assuming you're using it for anxiety), then you're bound to find something that will; it may just take some trial and error. But if you can, try increasing the dose and see what happens. I'm biased, but my experience is that Klonopin is an excellent med with minimal to no side effects.
