Hi Paul...Happy New Year to you!
I believe that I started out on 40 mgs of celexa with little relief, at which time the dose was doubled and I finally started to feel even better. It was about 2 weeks after the increase before I finally felt like "myself" again.
As for klonopin, I was on it for 3 yeas before we realized that it had a paradoxical effect on me. Instead of soothing my anxiety, it caused me to feel angry and irritable. I have not heard about this effect on anyone but me, so you may want to give it a shot. Just keep in mind that the withdrawal can be painful, so try to take the lowest dose that works. I was on a huge dose for years and really suffered when I came off it.
Best of luck to you and please let me know if you have any other questions.
:) Girl
