In reply to can klonopin worsen depression?, posted by craig allen on October 13, 2003, at 18:45:34
this is just my unprofessional opinion of course, Has any thing happend in your life that might have triggered this depression?.
I was once diagnosed dystimic, I was given wellbutrin.
Ive since come to the conclusion that depressoion is not my ONLY problem, BUT the wellbutrin has helped my depression.
Ive only had one dramatic experience with benzos (klonopin like meds) it was very upsetting and my response was so embarassing, but I digress...I can imagine once tolerance is reached with a bezo it would be very effective for anxiety. But without something more activating I personally would feel depressed. But thats me.
What is the nortryptaline for?
Maybe your mood swing is a side effect. If you can ride it out, youll probably be able to tell. It sounds rough, Im sorry.
I had some real ups and downs till the wellbutrin side effects subsided.best regards
> i suddenly became very depressed 9 days ago, haven't been able to shake it. not my usual dysthimia kind of depression - this is the major depression variety. naturally, i'm trying to figure out what is happening. for the past few weeks i've been taking clonazepam almost daily. at the most, i take .75mg in a day but most days i've been more in the .5mg range. it takes the edge off a little bit - nothing i'm writing home about - but it helps enough to keep taking it. has anyone experienced a very dramatic decline in their mood while on this drug? my hunch is that the clonazepam is not the culprit, but i'm curious about other poeple's experiences. incidentally, i'm on my 6th day of nortriptyline (75mg) and it's been a complete bust so far. i'm in some rough shape.
