> I take Xanax 4mg for anxiety. Alot of times well it depends, on the time i take it and when i take, is when i get depressed.

> When i go to sleep on it, it does make me depressed. I dont know Xanax someitmes is euphoric. Not really. Mild Euphoria. Like everything is ok, or even better when you are SUPER stressed out, it causes so much relief.
>
> Anyways can you share you benzo experienceIt is really weird how a drug can effect people differently. I was taking a tiny dose of zanax (.25) at bedtime when I first started trying a benzo for my bad anxiety that AD's alone were not effective enough. I would be tired and depressed all the next day. I talked to the pharmacyst about it and he thought that weird, he said zanax was one of the few that had no metabolites and should completely clear the system quickly. All I know is what it is supposed to and what it actually did to me were not the same thing.
So, I tried klonopin, what one my gyno, not my pdoc, called zanax on steroids, laugh, and that has worked great for me. No depression and no tiredness. I have had to increase the dose with the patch and still no depression or tiredness. So individually speaking, klonopin is superior over zanax FOR ME.
