In my experience Xanax can easily thow me into depression.

I sometimes think that depression is a way of getting relief from anxiety and vice versa. It seems like they are 'flip sides' of the same coin.

Now my anxiety is so much improved. What's there is not necessarily depression but a peacefulness that had been gone so long it was a little hard to get used to again. It felt more like something missing for a while and sometimes still can feel that way.. and I can actually miss the anxiety that would have me pacing and frantic and unable to sleep.

I hope it's peacefulness that's there for you, too.
