> Most of my depression stems from anxiety, and Klonopin alleviates the anxiety. So, for me, Klonopin has a major antidepressant effect, long-term. Adderall seems to take care of the "residual" depression, but I have no doubt that Klonopin has eliminated the majority of my depression, while a range of "ADs" failed to do so and just made things worse.

I've decided that almost all antidepressants make me worse. I've quit my Wellbutrin, stayed on the Klonopin, and already feel better. I almost always feel my depression lift a bit when I quit an AD. I think some of this might be due to the fact that my body is just so happy with not feeling physically ill (from the horrid AD).Of course the depression returns in time, but the point is that ADs have *never* helped, and there is actually a decrease in depression whenever I've quit *any* of them! I might give Nardil a fair chance, but after that I'm giving up on ADs. They just plain make me sick and do nothing for my depression.
