I don't know if I'm imagining things so I'm asking others who have taken Xanax and Klonopin.

Hey! All benzo takers have their favorites...kind of like everyone has a favorite color. Anyway, Xanax is GREAT because it does have anti-depressant properties, which is why docs use it so often in the mildly depressed and very anxious. Klonopin, on the other hand, can CAUSE depression, as can some other benzos. But, then again, some hold that it is less addictive than Xanax (I doubt this would apply to XR Xanax), so klonopin is kind of the "IT" benzo right now.
