Sorry. Franz

With all the benzophobia rampant, I should have phrased my comment about clonazepam worsening my depression much more carefully. I do know people who it works well for also.

Alan's point is really important.
True alleviating anxiety whether it be by what is technically a depressant or not, is definately enough to make someone feel immeasurably better.
That is why the Ativan works for me. I was refused it by several Dr's because they told me it would make me more depressed.
I suppose in some distant scientific way it might, but my emotions don't seem aware of that fact. It works for me and the excruciating anxiety/depression combo like nothing else.

I was more concerned about the comment 'taking them like candy' from the first post.

If one is starting carefully on a low dose, you should be able to tell if they are helping or hurting and take other steps if necessary.

Its more confusing, and I think dangerous, if you just take more and more of any drug, but especially those which can worsen depression out of desperation.

Sorry about that.
