Hi Jackie,
I'm in the UK and have seen psychiatrists both on the NHS and Privately. The NHS ones are very into getting you off drugs and getting you to try more holiastic therapies. This has really started to get on my nerves, so much so that I fantasise about shooting the last one I saw and I've written a letter of complaint to the Complaints Board.
Private psychiatrists tend to cost about £200 per hour. I've seen some very good ones at the Priory.
You might be able to see an NHS psychiatrist within a month if you tell them you are suicidal, even if you are not as this should speed things up but then if you say you are suicidal they might be more against prescribing klonopin.
Alternatively, you can order it online, which I have done but obviously it will be more expensive than getting them on the NHS. It would be cheaper than going privately for them though.
