Yes: Check with your prescribing doctor. If your panic attacks aren't controlled on this regimen, your doctor may wish to make other adjustments. Be sure to avoid caffeine, alcohol, and chocolate since they can worsen anxiety.

You can: Did you know that zoloft (sertraline) is 50% better absorbed if taken with food? I always prescribe zoloft (sertraline) in the mornings as for many it can contribute to insomnia if taken at bedtime. If you were my patient, i would try and wean you off of the klonopin, as it can be addictive. I would also try and learn other ways to deal with your panic attacks. Check out the book, stop obsessing by edna foa.

Zoloft (sertraline): Follow your prescribing md 's instructions and also inquire about behavior therapy if not already seeing a therapist. That will help you eventually come off of the klonopin (clonazepam).
