I didn't like klonopin at all. It really made me feel stupid. I took valium and as my anxiety symptoms began to go down, i decreased it until I was only taking a small amt. Then they came out with ativan, xanax. I'm now back on it years later, and I neve abused or developed a tolerance for it. They use it a lot to detox pts from other benzos, and alchol. Because of its long half life, they can then taper you down and off of it [if appropriate] very quickly without rebound anxiety. I agree about the AD's. They simply don't relieve anxiety. They created it for me. They are expensive and unnessary if anxiety is creating your depression. Fondly, Phillipa
