> Clonazepam is somewhat of a black-sheep, though. It possesses therapeutic properties that are unique to the BZDs. I am just wondering if the 5-HT properties don't confer its anti-manic, mood-stabilizing and occasional depressogenic effects.

I'm confused about how the two affect the neurotransmitter, but I guess that COULD be responsible. In my opinion, the extent to which these benzos affect it is negligible. Otherwise, my pdoc would not allow me to take Xanax with an MAOI. He'd prefer I didn't take it but for other reasons...
