Interesting stuff.

If Klonopin exacerbates or causes depression, I wonder if Valium (diazepam) would be useful - perhaps in combination with a drug like Trileptal (oxcarbazepin) to substitute for the mood-stabilizing properties of Klonopin (clonazepam).

I imagine this idea is misguided. I know a few people who have dissociative symptoms that presumably resulted from the childhood abuse they suffered. One person in particular is doing very well. I'll see if I can ask her what type of treatments she undergoes to mitigate the dissociation. I know that psychotherapy has been a mainstay of her treatment plan.
