yeah, I've had shrinks be the same way--anticonvulsants, yes, benzos, yes, antidepressants...not so much. Fear of "agitation," I suppose. That said..ADs really aren't all that great. Maybe you just need a different mood-stabilizer, like lamictal or trileptal. Upping the Klonopin can help depression, too. Adding Provigil or another stimulant might help, too.
Good luck!
