General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
It is possible that the clonazepam is causing the depression and dullness. Clonazepam is a central nervous system depressant. It can cause mental slowness, depression and fatigue. I suggest that you work with your doctors to slowly taper you off this medication. It is important that you not stop it abruptly since that can cause a major withdrawal problem.
