hi. like bluebicylce wrote, any benzodiazepine can cause depression or make depression worse, but Klonopin is regarded by many as the worst offender. I don't know what that's about.

The first thing that popped into my mind would be to think about maybe Remeron at night. Remeron is an effective antidepressant by itself, and its also used as a "booster" when other antidepressants aren't working as well as needed. Sedation and weight gain are potential issues, although I seem to recall reading that both the sedation and the food cravings are less pronounced at higher doses.

Anyway, just a random thought-of-the day. Clearly, a psychiatrist will have the expertise to figure something out. One can take more than the usual 60mgs/cymbalta per day, also. I was briefly prescribed 90mgs/day and some people are prescribed 120mgs/day. I don't know if that actually helps or not, but it happens.

Good luck.
