Though all benzos can cause or worsen depression, clonazepam seems to be the most guilty one here at pbabble. But the benzos are all very different. Perhaps all you need is to switch to another one. Xanax has a modest amount of antidepressant action to it. It's just my opinion, but three possible choices in order of preference would be:
Xanax
Diazepam (valium)
Lorazepam (ativan)
All of them are good for anxiety and social functioning, though they all have their own particular characteristics that vary from person to person.Clonazepam caused my deep depression to go even deeper than I ever thought possible. Ativan did somewhat, but not as bad as clonazepam. I have not tried valium. Xanax actually lifts my depression when in deep despair.
