==============================================
Everyone reacts differently to the different bzds...if I take 1 -2 mgs of klon I'm alright but above that, mild depression.For panic and my anxiety generally I take a lower dose of klon 1 - 1.5mg and ativan PRN for breakthrough or situational anxiety.
Peoples reactions to the different bzds are as different with each type as with any other class of med. Perhaps klon is not for you. Have you tried valium, tranxene, ativan or xanax?
Xanax has been proven to have antidepressant properties although my belief is that the releiving of relentless anxiety is enough for anyone to feel less depressed.
Hope this helps.
