I never really felt Klonopin after about 1 month--I just noticed a reduction in anxiety while taking it. I think b/c of its gradual onset and long-half life, it doesn't have the same "here it comes" feeling that xanax gives (or even ativan). So...just b/c you don't feel it doesn't mean your a junky. You are probably dependent on it, though, so keep that in mind if you try to switch it up or taper.
I wouldn't try a klonopin----xanax switch or taper. Tapering off Klonopin or xanax is hard enough, since they're both so high-potency. Switching between the two, especially from k--x sounds like trouble. I think a k---valium switch, then a taper off valium (if you want) might be better.
