I have been taking klonopin for 12 years. I used to take 3mgs but have found 2mgs to be the smallest dose to tackle the SP. The anti anxiety benefits have never gone away.
I got off it all the way once, but found that my SP returned (which is typical). I forgot how bad it was and how well klonopin worked. So I started taking it again.
Some people seem to be concerned with withdrawing from it, but you just have to do it slowly. If you have SP I'm not sure how effective only taking it here and there will be.
If that doesn't work, I'd consider taking it daily and slowly going up on the dose until you find the level that works for you. I don't think building tolerance is an issue for very many people. It hasn't been for me.
