Assuming I am not keen on benzos would be wrong.
I prefer xanax to valium simply because it has some inherent antidepressant qualities that the other benzos do not have. Valium and klonopin can be very depressing. Hundreds of reports right here over the years can testify to that, not to mention the side effect label. But with xanax, those reports are not nearly as common. Xanax has even been clinically used as a stand-alone antidepressant. It is different than its benzo family members. Depression with xanax is still a risk, as it is with any psych drug, but just seems less than the other benzos.
