Anxiety/depression.: (1) If you’re still feeling anxious and depressed on this regimen, then one would think that the regimen is not working. I would hazard to suggest you consolidate the regimen to one pill and maybe consider tapering off Klonopin if you can. (2) if you’re not in counseling, you should be. Speaking of the issues ultimately is more effective that trying to medicate them away.

Keep reaching: To your management team. Medications alone may not do it. May need counseling and meditation in addition to medication optimization

You will get better: Severe depression clouds your judgment. if you become suicidal, go to an emergency room for immediate help. Bipolar disorder has a different treatment. Someone should adjust your dosage every week until you feel better. Psychotherapy works just as well as drug therapy if not bipolar--learn about cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, meditation.-Essential: become physically fit and eat health!
