Hi Maxime,
I'm sorry you're feeling so down, and I hope the DPS comes through at some point soon. (From what I've read it sounds pretty amazing.)
I'm sure you've already thought of this, and perhaps ruled it out. But, I'll mention it anyawy. I've heard from a number on this board that Klonopin can induce depression in some folks. So, I'm wondering if the clonazepam might be worsening an already bad state. Just a thought.
Are you on the K for bipolar or for anxiety, BTW? If it's anxiety, other benzos (e.g. Xanax) might be a little better in terms of helping out with the depression.
All the best,
