Klonopin is a "sedative" and it "is" addictive. Each person is different in how they are affected. Some people are more sensitive than others and need very little, some people who can tolerate more alcolhol, can tolerate more Klonopin.

Keep in mind that it is a seditive and it "does" lower the "metabolism" to where you can gradually "gain" weight. I gained a lot of weight on Klonopin and I didn't eat a lot either.

I used it mostly at night because I had night terrors and flashbacks in my sleep which deprived me of a good nights rest. But the following morning I was hung over and by around 11am I could feel the anxiety building up and because I didn't want to take it during the day because it made me sleepy, I struggled during the day.

It is also known to affect the short term memory, which it did with me as well.

I finally decided to stop taking it after taking it a few years. I did it gradually and it was a challenge. But honestly, I am glad I stopped taking it. I only take it if I have a really bad day, otherwise I am working on managing the anxiety on my own and I am gaining on that.

My therapist told me that it has the same affect as alcohol on the brain, the brain cannot tell the difference. I was surprised to hear that tbh.

It is a personal choice and each person is different in how they react to Klonopin.
Yes, it can increase the "depressed" feelings, after all, it is a "sedative".
