I will ditch it totally in a few days.Klonopin is NOT a mood stabilizer, so if the diagnosis is right, you should get antidepressant and then switched to mood stabilizer. Don't wait to long, you can get MDD. You can alway get a second opinion. Sometimes agitated depression is mistaken with bipolar by pdocs.
