Hi all,
I've read that Clonazepam (generic Klonopin) can cause or exacerbate depression in people who otherwise wouldn't have it, and I've been on 1 mg a day clonazepam for 3 weeks and I've noticed I've been more emotional and moody and tend to get depressed over things easily, for example in my DBT class a guy next to me (who's bipolar) was talking about how depressed and hopeless he felt and now I can't stop thinking about this and I now feel very depressed myself. This class was a few days ago. I'm also on 15 mg Lexapro.
My question is - do the other benzo's used for anxiety disorders (like ativan, xanax, librium, valium, etc. ) also tend to cause depression and moodiness in people who otherwise wouldn't have it?
Also, when I try to express myself (through talking to people, writing, etc., a lot of times people say I talk too fast and they can't understand me, and even if I talk in normal speed my speech or writing is somewhat incoherent and hard to understand. Could this be a sign of ADHD, severe anxiety , or something else?
Thanks,
Lisa2712
