Try not to worry about all this and what to do, that will only make thing more stressful. just get through the day. It'll be solved soon. I can tell you bad jokes and lighthearted quips...When you have time, you can tell me if you have tried anything else. And what your symptoms are overall. I assume it is major depression and anxiety....
As I said, there are other medications to try. Some people do great on klonopin, but some dont and maybe something else would work better with your chemistry. lorazepam, Valium, etc...
And for me, actually tiny doses of some of the atypical antipsychotics did wonders for my depression. Not trying to sell you on that, just saying how many options are out there...
