In reply to Can Klonopin induce Depression/cognitive problems?, posted by Ted Brosnan on October 8, 2004, at 12:36:53
I have definetly had a problem with Klonopin causing depression. Even after just taking it one night. If I am beyond anxious I will take it but I know what I am in for after. I already take two different AD's so they don't seem to help with the Klonopin depression. Ativan isn't as bad for me but still makes me feel somewhat down. Xanax was the least depressing for me but I tend to have greater anxiety after it wears off. I don't take it regularly so it can definetly be a problem. Xanax XR might be better. My Pdoc said that Klonopin does cause depression in some people and suggested that I not take it any longer.
Sorry if I am babbling but I just wanted to give you more input to mull over in making your decision. Give it a shot, its worth a try, and just keep in mind what to look for. You'll probably know right away if its for you or not.
Good Luck.
