Hi Brian

>I was curious Ed, is it possible that benzos can or do squash out the positive effects of SSRIs (squash serotonin etc)? I thought I had heard that somewhere.

For some people, benzos induce depression. It is possible that they may reduce the antidepressant effect of SSRIs in some cases - other people find the opposite, especially if their depression is characterised by severe anxiety.

>They seem to make me quite the a-hole too

I couldn't take a benzo regularly. They often make me feel moody and aggressive.

>Alcohol would excite me, stay up all night.

I know what you mean. I can't sleep until it wears off. I thing it's due to the dopaminergic effect.

Regards

Ed
