I recommend galantamine (Reminyl, Nivalin), not a stimulant. It has been demonstrated effective against benzodiazepine and ketamine induced dementia. Look in the US patent database for entries including "galantamine" and "clonazepam". You'll see that in the former USSR, they'd do things like use 15mg Klonopin/day + galantamine to treat psychosis. They'd use the galantamine to prevent sedation and cognitive dulling from the whopping dose of Klonopin. Give it a try; I highly doubt you will be disappointed. After all, I tried it on myself when I was taking Klonopin, heh. The only thing you have to watch for is worsening of depression, but if you're stable and you keep the dose minimal, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The original galantamine brand, Nivalin, may be ordered directly from Sopharma, AD Bulgaria at www.nivalin.com. I am not affiliated with them in any way; they simply provide a high-quality, reasonably priced alternative to prescription Reminyl in the US.
