> Klonopin is the only benzo i believe that had the general acceptance as being a good mood stablizer.

Yes. And it does work for some, especially when combined with lithium and perhaps other mood stabilizing drugs. Klonopin is also the only benzodiazepine to have a significant affect on serotonin, although it is poorly studied. The work in this area dried up decades ago. The serotonin thing is probably why it depresses some people and has an anti-manic effect for others. I used it before the age of Depakote. It did for me what lithium monotherapy could not to squelch a severe drug-induced manic reaction.
