The clonazepam will help phobia and anxiety. In fact, it is good to have it in your system on a daily basis since the time it takes for clonazepam to work after ingestion is often too long (1 hour or so) to relieve the phobias quick onset. As for the difference between GAD and phobia, perhaps there is a connection. It makes sense to me that an irrational anxiety in certain situations can lead to full blown phobias over time, although I have no idea what your particular situation is.
There are nasal delivery systems for benzos (Xanax I think) in the works that deliver much quicker relief for phobia reactions, but those are still probably 3 to 5 years away. A benzo can be absorbed into the brain much quicker nasally than through the stomach.
