In reply to Why is klonopin acting like an AD?!, posted by cherylann on May 14, 2004, at 10:01:46
The ultimate answer/evasion: your mileage may vary.
Could it be that in relieving the anxiety that you feel, klonopin is taking away stresses that make you feel depressed? Particularly in the case of going off an AD that perhaps wasn't doing you any good ... may have actually been making you feel worse?
You didn't say how long you've been off your AD. If this is all something that has happened over a relatively short period of time, you might be experiencing some readjusting of your body to the lack of those meds. Don't mean to "rain" on you here -- I just want to point out that over the short term you might be experiencing a "bounce" that may not have any long-term traction. If it doesn't, then don't attribute too much to what took you up **or** down.
What other ADs have you tried, cherylann?
