mixing uppers and downers is tricky business. The first thing that pops in my mind is that maybe you should try a different benzo...klonopin is kind of known for inducing depression in some people.
I think Ativan is more neutral on mood, but you'd have to take it more often (and I think more of it). Xanax xr might be a good call. Serax might also be a good option.
I personally wouldn't mess with an MAOI, especially w/ an amphetamine in the mix, but...sometimes that works. The fact that you've had a hypertensive crisis already would kind of make me think (as a non-professional) that its not the best idea, though--that'd be like giving prozac to someone who had suffered serotonin syndrome, or Zyprexa to someone who had gone through Neuroleptic Malignancy Syndrome.
I'm sorry you're having a rough time...I wish you luck.
