> > Anyone here who's taken/taking Klonopin find it has made them extremely emotional? I think I have been crying a lot more frequently recently and although there are a lot of other factors (stress, severe anxiety, panic attacks, intense family discord...) that could possibly be contributing to this, I feel it may be due in part, at least, to the Klon. and/or exacerbated by it, and was wondering if anyone has had similar experience(s).

Really does go to show the the old Babble saying YMMV does apply in mental treatment, because i have found Klonopin (rivotril) to have an anti-depressant effect on me, although a very very modest one.But i think anything that was going to give me stability for the serious issues i was/am having was going to have anti-depressant qualities.
I think if anyone finds themselves getting depressed on klonopin i would suggest they try 5-HTP as an add on before going fown the SSRI route.
Infact personally if the 5-HTP didn't do the trick i would ask for a stimulant before adding an SSRI also.
