Feeling like you're going crazy is usually caused by anxiety. People with genuine psychosis usually believe their delusions and do not think they are going crazy. I would talk to your therapist about this (if you have one - if you don't maybe you should get one). Therapists are generally very good at helping people learn to ground themselves when suffering anxiety attacks and derealization, especially if they have some CBT training. Also, the fact that klonopin helps suggests that anxiety is the issue. Maybe, since these feelings don't last that long, a shorter-acting benzo would be appropriate - I have used xanax very successfully for anxiety attacks.
