In reply to Klonopin vs. Xanax, posted by Nic on April 30, 2001, at 10:16:01
Hi Nic. I have been on Klonopin prn for about 18mos. When I take over about 2mg/day, I do notice my depression more. Xanax didn't work as well for me. I had to take it more often to get a decent result & was sleeping all the time. Re: Bipolar dx-have you discussed a mood stabilizer with your doc? I am also bipolar & didn't start feeling better till I was put on Neurontin 800mgx2 & Topomax 50mgx2. Hope this helps. Good luck.
> I have been on Celexa 40mg. and Klonopin 3mg for about 5 months now, before that I was on Serzone and Klonopin, but the Serzone made me to tired.
> As far as the Klonopin goes, I wonder if it can make the depression worst at times. That's why I thought that maybe Xanax would work better. I suffer from Depression and both Panic and Anxiety Attacks and have been diagnosed as being Bipolar also.
> Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.
