Tinkerbelle...question about Clonopin

Hi. I was on Lexapro for almost a year and I'm thinking of starting it up again due to anxiety and some depression. The doctor had given me some Clonopin to take if needed in the meantime while I was awaiting the Lexapro to "kick in." I still have some left. I don't recall the mg. but I know that it says to take 1/2 pill over an 8 hour period. I have really used it sparingly...taken it for two different plane flights and then two different panic attacks over the last year. However, I really wish I could take something like that more often!! The Lexapro helped as an "overall" type of anxiety reduction, but the Clonopin was great for just "calming me" during situational panic atatcks. I have avoided taking it b/c I figure it's addictive. What do you know about that? I am going to try the Lexapro and then go back to the doctor. Part of me would rather have something like Clonopin instead of a daily AD since my IBS is so often related to stress and certain activities. Please give me your input. (I was only taking 5mg of Lexapro...the minimum I think.) THanks.
