I can't speak to your combo, but I can give you insight to my experiences with Klonopin. I am monotherapy Klonopin for an anxiety disorder for three years. For the first couple of weeks, it did, ideed, make me sleepy and a little spacey. That cleared in about 2 weeks. I was left with the anxiety busting effects. I'm on a very low dose and I do from time to time experience a bit of lethergy and possible slighly depressive symptoms, but who knows if Klonopin is really the cause for that. Many would probably say Klonopin is the cause, but I have found the risk versus benefit weighing goes to the side of my continued use of Klonopin.
Maybe my findings are no help at all to you, but they are my findings.
Klonopin is great for anxiety when used correctly and with good followup and guidence of your doc.
Good Luck to you.
