Benzos that cause depression

sorry, i didnt read all of this thread, but for what its worth valium used to be my favourite benzo, i loved it. now it seems to actually cause feelings of anxiety/depression, no matter how much or how little i take. i still use the same dose of alprazolam and clonazepam without problem tho.. now that i think about it temazepam is kind of the same, tho i never found it that great.
 
how sure are we about these "three main culprits"?

most who have used benzo's daily do so by script and haven't gone through 10 different benzos

Yea, thats natural because you are coming down from it, so if you take more than we feel OK again.

OP is talking about on high doses feeling very emotional, not because his drug is running out of his system.

Not sure at all, actually, qwe ;)
I suppose the 3 main culprits are specific to my life and brain, but it seemed that they were the three that most commonly caused depression in others as well. Remember, though, that Ive never tried bromazepam before, but have seen enough reputable reports that it is the most likely to cause depression of any of the benzos others with experience have used. The phrase "three main culprits" is, as you suggest, speculative at best.

Exactly the same with me. It became dysphoric after about two years and I have never since been able to gain that pseudo-opioidesque glow from diazepam that I now find from temazepam. Alprazolam has remained consistent over five years, but I was never fond of Klonopin - unless I take it sublingually, it causes some adverse reactions that I find extremely unappealing. Yet, for some reason, it's the only benzo I've ever seen whose generic form tastes not only good, but *sweet* when used sublingually. That said, I was never prescribed Klonopin for long enough to see whether or not it lost its magic for me.

Precisely true; I thought I'd made that clear, but thanks for further clarifying, b4rd :)
