Yes Klonopin depressed me also - as well as every other benzo *except* Xanax which I am thankfully able to tolerate. I also take Lexapro (for depression in my case). And Linkadge you are correct that Xyrem is known for its antidepressant effect but it is very brief since the half-life is so short. The depression is known to be a rebound effect lasting the entire day following Xyrem administration. We'll see what happens but I am staying realistic about this after all of the medical literature along with anecdotal reports I have read.
