I can relate to the symptoms you are describing. I take a low dose long-acting benzo which is usually librium 10mgx2 and is now valium 5mgx2. When I get feelings of depression or sluggishness what I do is try an break the cycle. I will skip a dose on a
a day I feel as though I am too down. It seems to work. Good Luck. JN
