I think certain meds can absolutely make depression/mania worse and it depends on how each person handles the drug and its side effects. Ativan is a downer so I can see how it made you sluggish and feel worse. And I can see how you can get addicted. I have an insanely high tolerance and I often have to triple my benzo dosage. And I've also been on meds that made me dysphoric and hypo too. Everyone reacts to meds different and I'd suggest you bring up a med change with pdoc.
