so take it for what it's worth. I started using Klonopin for sleep many years ago. Eventually I ended up taking more to sleep and then also for anxiety. It is sedating and I believe it can maybe contribute to a more depressed mood. In the end I became very addicted to it. My body got very dependent on it. I ended up going off of it and had the most horrible withdrawal symptoms. I swore I would never take another benzo again. Now I use Vistaril for anxiety....and I have bad anxiety. It's not as strong as klonopin but at least it's not addictive. I have also used Propranolol. I hope you find what works best for you.
My experience parallels this.
