“it made me massively depressed and numb ... my mind goes so blank to the point I feel borderline catatonic”

Cause: Ativan 0.5 mg/day for 10 days in early January, then Klonopin 0.5 mg twice daily for 4-5 days in a behavioral health unit, stopped cold turkey; writer says the Klonopin made them depressed and numb.
Duration: About 8 days since last Klonopin dose; symptoms since about mid-January (roughly 5-6 weeks).
Recovery notes: Had a long window of relief one day, then worse again; considering reinstating. No later update checked. Not medical advice.
