I found that my depression didn't lift until I was taking a combination of mood stabilizers and ADs, in my case Depakote, Wellbutrin, and Remeron. Have you tried taking more than one at a time - find one that helps (but not enough) and then add another? It's kinda messy but it sounds like the singletons aren't working for you.Klonopin. I took 4 mgs a day for several years and then went off. I went down .25 mgs a week for 16 weeks (plus one. there was one week in there I felt I couldn't drop any lower). It was hard, because everything that the Klonopin had been helping with was coming back. However, it was great, because every negative emotion I had for four months I could say, "This is just a reaction to coming off the K. If this problem still exists in 4 months, deal with it then." Interestingly, there wasn't much of a list at the end.
Good luck
waterfall.
