Marvin,
I can't comment on the Klonipin but since I'm currently transitioning from Zoloft to Prozac, I can provide some information. My psychiatrist has been gradually reducing the Zoloft while slowly increasing the Prozac. I didn't have any problems until I dropped the Zoloft per his instructions while staying at the same prozac level. We are now back to what worked well the first few weeks. But as I'm sure you're well aware, you mileage may vary.
As far as anxiety, I also have that as a component of depression and Zoloft worked very well on that. Maybe you should consider it?
I am switching because I gained alot of weight on Zoloft and the combination of Zoloft and any stimilant was causing monthly agiation fun. When I started the Prozac, still got the same symptoms but not nearly as severe which further supports my belief that I have made the right choice.
Good luck and fire away if you have any more questions.
Shirley
