I took clonazepam for 6-12 months. I can't remember exactly. I was also taking Nardil for most of that time. I really don't know what to say other than it helped with sleep and was difficult to discontinue. I wish I had the insight then that I have now regarding the management of withdrawal symptoms. I went through hell.More recently, an attempt at using clonazepam acutely as a sleep aid did make my depression somewhat worse.
The last time I tried using a benzodiazepine (lorazepam) for sleep, I found that it made me more depressed the day after my first dose. However, this depressogenic effect disappeared after a few days.
