Benzo question
Should I take Klonopin if it keeps me from doing compulsions? Or is that just running away from anxiety?

My first post was probably too long. I just was prescribed klonopin as an augmentation to Trintellix. I’ve had ERP therapy and still practice it. My questions are: does klonopin reduce the effectiveness of ERP? Does anyone have success stories with it as a long term augmentation therapy?
This is kind of a weird question, but I recently increased my SSRI dosage and have experienced tremendous relief. It has quieted my intrusive thoughts so much and my compulsions are no longer as all-consuming. However, I don’t want to be on this high of a dosage forever and know that medication alone shouldn’t be my only fix. I’m seeing a new psychiatrist on Wednesday and am wondering if the recent decrease in frequency of my symptoms will be a bar to my getting ocd treatment? In other words, if in this present moment I’m doing better, but up until a few days ago my compulsions were taking up pretty much every moment of my waking day, will I still be classified as having ocd? I start getting worried when I feel better that I don’t actually have ocd and just use it as a defense mechanism to avoid consequences of my actions/I’m secretly a terrible person
Anyone ever use any type of anxiety med that held fight impulsivity or urges compulsions that helped immediately?something that makes u not care or feel like doing them giving in!?! I just need something to help till my ssri meds start working?? Please options please
