alternating benzos to avoid depression?

Posted by tmalicia on December 10, 2005, at 23:47:23


I'm on Wellbutrin and generally ok, though I've noticed I still have very bad days of depression when I take certain drugs a few days in a row -- Claritin, for one, but more alarming to me are my frequently needed benzos.

I have klonopin, valium, and soma (technically a muscle relaxer, but I've read that it breaks down into a benzo that was popular before valium). It only takes a couple of days using any of them and wham, I suddenly can't get off the couch or talk to anyone.

So I'm wondering if alternating them when needed a couple of days in a row would help avoid this. I'm doubtful, but I've gotten to the point where I'm afraid to take anything for fear of turning weepy and nonfunctional the next day.
