At age 59, going through stresses of relationships, marriage, separation, divorce, parenting, children leaving home, feeling lonely, work and finances do cause Anxiety.

Clonazepam : It is very good that you identified that these two medications belong to the same category. The combination may result in unpredictable synergy or augmentation of sedative side effect. Check with prescribing doctor and make him aware that you have the two prescriptions. He will guide you as of which one to stay on and how to improve its efficacy without adding another drug in same category.
