CLONAZEPAM

Posted by tensor on September 24, 2006, at 17:57:40

I can't get my head straight on what to do next. I have problem with recurring depression, SP and anxiety. It seems to be a fact that clonazepam triggers depression, it seems to be a s/e. That fact would fit my story disturbingly well. After my first depression i did fine on 15mg remeron for over two years, when i started with clon the problems with relapses begun. Is this a coincidence? Going off clonazepam is not an easy undertake, i almost did it a half year ago, but at 0.5mg the anxiety and the social phobia were too bad so i restarted with 2mg/d, i couldn't function in my work and socially without it.
Things are not made easier with the fact that there are no warranties that the relapses would stop if i decided to wash-out clonazepam, and also facing anxiety and SP that inhibits me to eat out among people, not being able to say phrases longer than ten words because of the fear of blushing and the feeling of restricted airways and not being able to finish the phrase.
So they way i see it, it's either stop clonazepam or put my fate in lamictal, this is a decision that i have to take within the next two days.

What would you do? Anyone recognise the clonzepam-depression connection?
