> All benzodiazepines have the potential of causing depression (they are CNS depressants) but that doesn't mean each one will or any of them will for one person. And as you have experienced, there are paradoxical reactions to some as well. Its just a matter of seeing if things work out for you over time -- just because some people say the adage that klonopin can cause depression so can others.
Exactly, klonopin doesn't depress me at all and it's probably been 6 months now. I've never had a depressive reaction to any benzo. Clonazepams mood stabilizing properties have probably helped me more than any other drug except for ropinirole and modafinil but I couldn't tolerate ropinirole which was a shame.
