Oh, absolutely! At 1.5 mg Klonopin I was tired/depressed all the time; at 1 mg it was somewhat better and at 0.5 mg/day, little depression. Personally, I think a better (safer) option would be to replace the Klonopin with a different benzo, rather than going to more exotic meds. If uk ed is around, he might suggest Valium. I'll save him the trouble. :>} Actually, my suggestion would be Xanax, although everyone is SO afraid of it. xyzbow (?) might suggest going to 0.5 mg Klonopin and using Xanax as needed. Hope I didn't piss you guys off putting words in your mouths...I just read your posts carefully.
The only downside I see with Xanax is eventual withdrawal, if you're having trouble with withdrawing from Klonopin. The opposite argument is to treat the problem causing limited functioning now, worry about withdrawal when and if the time comes.
