I had to give up coffee, or else take more benzo - that was the choice. For me, coffee was related to panic attacks.
when taking benzo, drinking is problematic, as it potentiates the benzo.
as was said, your taking a low dose of Klonopin, don't worry too much. If, at some time, you want to see how you do without it, try halving the dose and see how you feel in a month. (Do it at a time of low-stress). But warning - going down with benzos can be hard for some - there are techniques mentioned on this board.
that said, some of us feel a little guilty about taking meds at times. It's a common complaint. But a lot of people take them, so don't beat-up on yourself if you feel better taking them, you don't need to feel bad about it. (and this may not apply to you - I'm just talking about a common feeling).
just my 2 cents . . . . .
