>They do both, do they not? Very common to have a crappy mood the next day after using benzos. I'm sure many on here would attest to that. Too high a dose or just an unagreeable benzo for an individual will produce CNS depression to an over-extent also will it not? Ive tried lorazepam...it's one of the ones that produces less of a mood effect, for me, but still I have heard of mood depression from it like the others.
