xanax as trigger for depression?

Posted by tessellated on March 10, 2007, at 17:02:47

general question, i've been on .5-2mg doses of alprazolam/aka/xanax, for 3 months approx. I wonder how many others believe it can simply exascerbate depression, amotivation, anhedonia etc...

supposedly the triazolam ring has a serotonergic influence; i.e. more of an antidepressant effect over other benzo's; though i wonder how potent the gabaminergic downregulation/tolerance is on dysphoric mood.

anyone have personal experiences to say that it actually contributed to a worsening of affective states?

i.e. anyone feel simply better w/out benzo's. specifically alprazolam?
