I personally don't believe in tolerance developing so rapidly to benzos. Are you sure you're not confusing the loss of the initial sedation and buzz from the Klonopin with lack of efficacy? That's a very common mistake. For the vast majority of patients on Klonopin, tolerance either never develops, or develops VERY gradually, over a period of years. It may be that the sedating effects have disappeared, which is a *good* thing, but the anxiolytic effects should still be there. Sometimes it takes a few weeks to really notice them. I suggest you give it a chance.
