Klonopin(clonazepam) is closer to valium than xanax because it increases the action of GABA neurotransmission.

All benzodiazepines affect all benzodiazepine receptors and have very similar pharmacology. Valium also enhances GABA transmission. Benzodiazepines and paradoxical reactions are well documented.
These are not "uncontrolled mood swings", more an explosive outburst when provoked. While mania is still a concern, GABAergic drugs like BZs are effective in treating mania and I feel this issue is more about poorly controlled anger than something like mania.

Why? What good could a county worker possibly do? Give me a prescription for Effexor?
