Yes. Clonazepam is unique among the BZDs in this way. I think it inhibits the release of serotonin

> but I think it's more about benzodiazepines in general depress the CNS.

Taking Ativan (lorazepam) for an extended period of time while my depression was in remission was not depressogenic. I had no depression at all. Clonazepam beats the crap out of me. It makes my depression worse.

Xanax can act as a euphoriant for some people, and can probably do so indefinitely.

> I am wondering if Valium (diazepam) can produce depression after long-term use. I have a vague recollection of this being described.
