No votes for kava? It's true that the half-life is about 8x shorter than Klonopin, but it does really work something like a benzo (esp. if you buy a high-quality brand like Gaia Herbs).
If you suspect the anticonvulsant aspect of Klonopin is part of why it's useful to you, maybe try Gotu Kola or vinpocetine. (Yes, I'm on a vinpo kick today).
I'm going to wildly speculate that some combination like vinpocetine + kava and/or skullcap might feel familiar to you. I say I'm speculating because I've taken clonazepam, and have significant experience with vinpo, skullcap and kava... but I've never taken any of the last three in combination. In the same day, yes, but not at once. Still, I think they'd have an effect that would add up to something like clonazepam. Skullcap seems to be long-acting, too.
