Last week, when I was put back on valium, I felt great. I could get so much done, I enjoyed things I used to enjoy, even thought I could get a job. Now not so much. I feel anhedonia. I don't feel any enjoyment in things. Nothing is motivating. Nothing is fun. I also feel depressed. I wish I could go back to a few days ago when life was great, but I can't. Is this typical of benzos? They make you feel great at first and then poop out? I want to feel happy again.

When I take diazepam consistently It makes me depressed. I stick to clonazepam and I feel fine. Hope you feel better soon

Benzos are depressive if you take them daily it can cause some to go Anhedonia..

Maybe back off the Valium a bit ?
