> Another question. My pdoc gave me the option of ativan or klonopin- she took me off xanax. I am starting to feel depressed on klonopin. Any advise on ativan anyone?

Any sedative can cause or worsen depression. With Klonopin, the problem is that you're dealing with strong stuff (it was originally designed for epilepsy) that lasts a long time. Ativan is weaker and won't last as long; the odds of Ativan-induced depression are a lower...I find it makes me feel euphoric. Good luck!
