> Jedi thanks for the info but why do you feel that a few doses of klonopin and cutting down on xanax created the suicidal feelings I got and pdoc dc'd it and left me on xanax alone? He was trying to switch from xanax to klonopin and seriously was not suicidl til took the klonopin but said to husband how I felt but really wasn't???? Never have been suicidal? Love Phillipa

Hi Phillipa,
I'm sorry for the slow response, but I've been out of the country for a few days. Your response in this thread really confused me. As I said, people can react to clonazepam in different ways. Clonazepam can make some people more depressed but it does not have this effect on everybody. I said nothing about your suicidal feelings, in fact my response was specifically to Dan to emphasize that there are some people that are really helped by clonazepam(see below).If your response was a question to me, your reaction was a case study of one. This proves nothing. I'm sure there are many studies which show that depression can be increased by clonazepam. Everybody is different.
Take care,
Jedi

I'm sure for many people clonazepam can make their depression worse. However there are many studies where clonazepam, as an augmentor of antidepressants, improves the symptoms of depression, anxiety, social anxiety and panic disorder. Generally, if the depression has a large anxiety component, clonazepam may help.
Take care,
Jedi
