Is it possible for kpin 0.5mg once daily for 18 months can overtime cause more anxiety?i am now tapering because i'm afraid that is the case.

You are doing right: Klonopin or clonazepam is a class of medication that treat anxiety very well on a shorter duration. It has other indications as well like restless leg syndrome. Over course of time the body starts getting used to the dose and it looses it effect. So rather than using it for long time we need to taper and use other medications. Hope that helps..
