Xanax is the only benzo I've been on long-term that doesn't seem to exacerbate my depression. Even when I wasn't on Stablon I wasn't depressed. Now I am on Stablon again because the house I am living in doesn't have enough windows, so it is very dark.
Bright sunny days keep my depression away.
I'm thinking of trying an SSRI though. I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. My pdoc suggested Cipralex (escitalopram) in addition to Xanax (and taper off Stablon).
I had a brain zap tapering on Stablon, but no other significant withdrawal phenomena.
Sorry for going off topic...
