@drekavac Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!

While I am not on either one of these medications, I did do some research. As you know, we are not medical professional here, and can only relate our experiences. And, as a gentle reminder, each of us are different. How we may respond to medications when combined with other health concerns, our lifestyle, etc. all may be so different from the next person!@ I am glad you came here to ask.

From Drugs.com, I looked up Ativan, and the dose you have been on for the last month is very low based on what they indicate for initial dosing. https://www.drugs.com/ativan.html I see it is used as a anticonvulsant and to ease anxiety disorders.
From Drugs.com, here is information on klonopin: https://www.drugs.com/klonopin.html I notice the klonopin is maninly as an anticonvulsant and for panic disorders.

My thoughts would be to look at what your doctor has diagnosed you with, and present your concerns to the doctor. I can see why your pharmacist may disagree, seeing the low dose of ativan you are taking. I hope you will consider what to do, and let me know what you decide.
