Suggest An Alternative Medication For Klonopin To Treat Anxiety

I have had anxiety and panic attacks and have tried medication my doctor prescribed with no results. I received samples of Klonopin from a friend and it helped greatly with my anxiety. I can actually sleep and do well at work. I am not crazy about taking pills; however, I am able to finally feel good and function. How do I approach a doctor and ask for a specific medication that I was not originally prescribed.
