> > You all and my Pdoc convinced me that Klonopin could be causing my chronic depression problem. I have reduced the dose very slowly (.25mgs) a week, and i'm not feeling any withdrawal symptoms..i'm down to 2mgs. a day, was on 3mgs. a day. Thanks for your help and support. By the way, i am less depressed at this reduced amount. :)

> Great news Dan! Congrats, it's a scary thing to do. Klonopin becomes a "safety net" from anxiety after a while, so it's hard both psychologically and physically to stop. And I'm glad you're noticing a difference in your depression. I really found that it was worsening my depression quite a bit, a sentiment shared by many others on this board.
