If the new med doesn't work out for you, perhaps enough time will have passed & the tolerance you developed to Klonopin will have dissipated significantly, and thus if you were to get back on it you'd probably have a "fresh(er)" start again.

The Clonazepam was originally scripted near 2 years ago because, I asked for it basically,and was very surprised when the doc gave me 2mg tabs bid-tid.I had been on Xanax, (for sever GAD), and It was too much for my Benzo-virgin Gaba recepters to handle, as it caused euphoria and a hangover. I also knew Clono to be longer acting and thought this to be better,.
