Treatment-Emergent Depressive Symptoms: In the pool of two short-term placebo controlled trials, adverse events classified under the preferred term “depression” were reported in 7% of Clonazepam-treated patients compared to 1% of placebo-treated patients, without any clear pattern of dose relatedness. In these same trials, adverse events classified under the preferred term “depression” were reported as leading to discontinuation in 4% of Clonazepam-treated patients compared to 1% of placebo-treated patients. While these findings are noteworthy, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) data collected in these trials revealed a larger decline in HAM-D scores in the Clonazepam group than the placebo group suggesting that Clonazepam-treated patients were not experiencing a worsening or emergence of clinical depression.
