I've never experienced any depression with Klonopin.
I have also tried Ativan, and found it helped panic (short term) but didn't seem to maintain an overall, general anti-anxiety effect. I didn't take it for long, however. So I can't say if it would have caused depression for me.(It was originally prescribed by my GP whilst waiting for my first trial of Celexa to "kick-in").
I also feel that depression can be co-morbid with anxiety, due to the continual stress state experienced.
It's so hard to know which comes first, when you're taking a variety of drugs and suffering a variety of symptoms.
If, like Dan, you keep a careful notation of feelings after taking drugs, you will probably be able to tell fairly reliably, if Klonopin causes you depression.
I wish there was ONE drug for anxiety that worked for EVERYONE and took away this awful guessing game!
Good luck to you.
