Well i have compared the benzodiazepines compared to there effects
First about effects on mood
5. Clonazepam (Klonopin)- dulls out worries, but can cause depression, through my experience. Does prevent panic attacks, and is good for sleep at night for "dulling out" worries. But can cause depression, it is a "dulling" drug, at moderate doses, i have had bad depression with this one.
4. Ativan (Lorazepam) - eases tension and some mental worries, not as potent as clonazepam. Does not have "strength" of it. It is a mellow benzo, through my experience, it helps more with stress.
3. Valium (diazepam) - never taken this med, but through what ive read through posts, it eases anxiety, not panic exactly, but more just "ease" can have postive effect on mood if stressed out from the day.
2. Temazepam (Restoril) - this medication can present hypnotic effects with sedation, a slight drunk like effect but, opens you up. I have taken Temazepam at social events and it incredibly makes me just talk, and feel ok. Can produce Euphoria, but mild.
1. Xanax (Alprazolam)- never taken this medication, but reading reports, eases panic and anxiety to the wall. Yes definly from what i've read, it can produce a euphoria. Very good for socual phobia, but addiction is a road hump.
Thats it.
If you want to discuss.... FYI
