> well I am down to only .5mg of klonopin and replaced with valium.....my suicideal ideations have all but disappeared ....could klonopin have caused this
I am happy to see that your ideations have receded. Klonopin is known to produce depression or make it worse. However, I don't know if it was responsible for putting you into a suicidal state. Were suicidal thoughts present before you began taking Klonopin? Was anxiety present before you began taking Klonopin? Perhaps Valium is acting to suppress suicidal thoughts and anxiety. Regardless of the biological explanation, I'm glad you are feeling better. It might be helpful to look at the content of your suicidal thoughts so as to assess whether or not you have psychological and life issues to address.
Good luck.
