Well I don't mean to be antagonistic to med_empowered, but the first thing that came to my mind was Xanax. It's the benzo that's least sedating for most people (I think studies have shown it has low affinity compared to other benzos for the sub-types of receptors that cause sedation) and it's the only benzo that has demonstrated an antidepressant effect in outpatients AFAIK. Benzos and other GABAergic drugs can aggravate symptoms like emotional instability/reactivity, but Klonopin has shown mood-stabilizing effects, so I suppose there's a risk that you could get worse in that sense if you switched to another benzo. It all depends on how you feel Klonopin is affecting you.
