I've been taking klonopin in combination with various ADs (currently Effexor XR) for eight years. I've definitely noticed a flatlining of emotions associated with it. Sometimes that's good, as when I'm particularly anxious or teary. But sometimes, it's frustrating, as I just don't take the same level of pleasure in things that I enjoy. Based on my experience, it's definitely a trade-off. But Xanax and other short-term benzos haven't worked well for me; I seem to burn through them way too fast and when the anxiety returns, it's like a kick in the gut. There always seems to be so much weighing of which is worse -- meds or symptoms -- with benzos and with ADs. It's such a tightrope walk. Atticus
