> Question: Do you think adding a stimulant (never tried before) would counteract the negatives of klonopin (depression) while keeping the positive benefits without risking rapid cycling that the antidepressants cause? In other words: Has anyone found the combination of a benzo and a stimulant beneficial for depression with anxiety?
In Dr Bob's tips section there are physican comments that stimulants have anti-manic properties, and that they are less likely than anitdepressants to induce a manic switch. I remember one person here a few months ago did very well with Deprenyl (which has an amphetamine metabolite) and Klonopin combination.
