Dear Ritch,
You are right to some extent. But klonopin always shouldn't necessarily make depression worse, but like all anticonvulsants, it has got some mood stabilizing properties. I have experience. I don't argue, because I couldn't find considerable support to back it. But one thing is sure. If anxiety is making one person depressed, using klonopin alone can definitely keep him away from depression. Here klonopin can be used as a shield.Xanax is unique in this regard. In India high doses of xanax is being used to treat major depressives because xanax can quickly elevate mood whereas an ideal antidepressant takes ten to twenty days for a slight elevation. But using high doses of xanax will have its own problems. Still sometimes it is the only way to overcome hellish depression.
