Long term Benzo use causes depression??

Posted by adamie on May 30, 2002, at 23:52:14

i just read this and was shocked. perhaps i have been getting worse due to the low dose of ativan i been taking for many months? i doubt it is doing much. if i miss a dose or something i cant tell if anything is different.
should i try stopping the med? do anti psychotics help for anxiety? that is what i plan to go back on. the only class of meds that has helped (paxil helped a bit before). and quickly too. they work so fast. seroquel or whatever it's called i hope to try.
can someone please explain to me how the benzos may cause greater depression because it recently seems like i have been getting worse and worse. if benzo's are a risk then i dont want to take them.
