Hi Jeffrey. Sounds like you are really struggling with all of this. Lamictal is being used by many psychiatrists now for unipolar depression with success. I am just about to start it myself for that. It's been used for a while now for Bipolar.
Also, some people have success with augmenting their SSRI's with a small amount of lithium or synthroid (even if no thyroid problem exists).
These are all things to keep in mind for further discussion with your doc if upping your Celexa doesn't help the depression. Also, I would want to make sure you are not possibly Bipolar type 2 as hypomanic episodes are so often missed and many people do respond to the bipolar meds who were thought to be unipolar.
I think upping your klonopin, as you mentioned, is a good idea till you get a little more stable.
Take care...
