Why is klonopin acting like an AD?!

Posted by cherylann on May 14, 2004, at 10:01:46

I have moderate/severe depression accompanied by anxiety/panic attacks. The only AD's that work for me are the sedating (remeron, doxepin etc). Since they also make my butt the size of Texas, I decided to stop the remeron I was taking. Probably not very smart.
Now, I'm just taking 1 mg of klonopin at night to sleep. It's taken away most of the anxiety, but is also having an AD effect. Not the full effect I'd like, as I am slowly pulling away from friends and committments again, but it's there none the less.
I guess my question is could this mean I've got some underlying physical condition? I've had my thyroid checked and it was normal.
I'm just curious why klonopin would have this effect.
