I don't know who told you Xanax has fewer occurences of depression than Klonopin, but I'd be curious to know.

There are, as far as I am aware, no controlled studies making such a head-to-head comparison. They're both benzos, so they can both cause depression. They can also both ease up on depression, especially if you obsess over your depression like I do.

You may want to consider Cymbalta, regardless. It, unlike SSRIs, actually is suppose to help you with your energy/drive-- it helps potentiate both 5-HT and NE in a balanced way. At 60mg-120mg, it is demonstrated to have good results and rapid effect. I'm talking to my doc about it this week when I see him. As much as I want to wait out the Lexapro 20mg, I'm really getting impatient. I want my energy back, and it's been a couple of years already without it.
