Anxiety, Clonazepam: I understand your discomfort. Conazepam is a medication for Anxiety. It is not for Depression. It is habit forming, therefore it has risk of withdrawal symptoms. Medication with Psychotherapy is more beneficial. Use Breathing and Music Relaxation, Yoga, Meditation and Tai Chi.. See a Psychiatrist for Diagnosis, Therapy for stress in your life and discuss not to increase dose of Clonazepam.

You are correct: I would speak to your doctor and see if other anxiety medication could be tried before increasing the Klonopin (clonazepam). These other classes of meds might help more with your depression, also.
