I've been taking Klonopin for around four to five days now - 1mg twice per day.
Today I have really felt so depressed. No motivation, low mood, feeling sorry for myself, crying, no interest in anything and a general malaise. I can only put this down to the Klonopin as I know depression is a side effect. I can't even say it's helped my anxiety that much either.
Many people on here may do well on Klonopin but it's been a waste of time with me - in fact it's made me feel worse.
The trouble is, what do I do now? Do I go back on 15mg of Valium and start taking it twice per day? Or should I try Ativan or Xanax? I have severe GAD and panic disorder along with depression and social phobia. I'm also taking 225mg Effexor and 600mg lithium. Whatever benzo I take, it will have to be daily for the time being so I guess I may build up an addiction.
I don't know where to go from here.
