> I seem to recall having read that Xanax actually had some antidepressant qualities/properties. Can anyone confirm this? Are there any clinical studies/research that would demonstrate this? Also, if that is the case, then I guess it would mean that use of Xanax would not cause depressive symptoms that Klonopin sometimes can cause?

IMO, it did and does have mild AD properties, as was indictated in the liturature available back then. It does a far better job dealing with insomnia and anxiety issues, then with chronic depressive disorders.
Klonopin was less effective for me then Xanax, but it has been helpful to many here it would seem by the posts.
YMMV.
