Hi Donnalyn,
I know you are concerned over the addictiveness of the Klonopin, but you've been taking it for 13 years and in the beginning it helped. So while it seems like an addictive issue, in reality, the klonopin allows you to function somewhat. Unless you are at the brink of the highest dosage recommended, I believe I would consult with my doctor, get all the options and continue with what works. Just my opinion.
You can read more about current medicines being prescribed here, and current treatments and theraphy's here. Always discuss this with your doctor. He/she is the best qualified to help you manage your care.
Good luck and stay in touch. Let us know how you are doing!
