Hey,
Yes benzo's do this to me also...great relaxers like seroquel but when I wake up I'm feeling down. Yes I take Nardil (a MAOI AD). This med usually energizes me and makes me jump out of bed with a smile and not wake up in anxiety sweats and confusion...it's been a real life changer for me. But the ongoing issue of my sleep meds adding depression the next day I dont find tolerable...well at least not in the long run...I know I must take bad with good to some degree with meds. But I want to feel as best I can...so hense the want to rid all sleep aids I use and get something completely different...but dont know what to use because gp has issues about sleep aids and MAOI sleep meds are somewhat limited.

> Hi,
> I think that any tranquilizer can cause or worsen depression. I have personally experienced this with benzos such as klonopin (in combination with an AD) and with various antipsychotics.
> I don't really understand the reason for this. With APs it could be the blocking of dopamine. I think some of the newer antipsychotics block certain serotonin receptors as well, if I'm not mistaken. I don't know.
> There have been messages on this board regarding the depressing effect of tranquilizers, so it must be a common side effect. Apparently some people are more sensitive than others in this respect.
> Myco, do you take antidepressants as well?
