Just a helpful (and INFORMED!) tip: I've read reports (by Clinical Psychiatrists/Psychopharmacologists) which state that Clonazepam (ie. Rivotril/Klonopin) actually REDUCES synaptic availability of serotonin (which is why it's such an effective anti-manic device, I suppose!).
So, someone with mental depression who is taking this drug is ACTUALLY doing themselves an injustice! While it may help with any accompanying anxiety (I'm sure it does), it is actually making your MAIN PROBLEM WORSE!!!!
Just thought I'd give a little "heads up"
