Does this happen to you?
I take 0.5 mg Alprazolam (Xanax*) every now & then for anxiety that I just can't cope with by using other non-drug techniques. It takes care of the anxiety, but the next day I am so depressed. It has happened so many times that I know it is some kind of re-action to the Xanax. Any thoughts? Generally I am doing really well.

My script is .25mg as needed. I don't find depressive symptoms the next day. It does quickly leave the system. Could it be anything else that's going on? Other triggers that bring about depressive symptoms? Maybe speak with the pharmacy or your pdoc?

Depression from benzos is usually only seen at higher doses. But, as many of us have come to learn, every person reacts differently to meds. Maybe half your dose to .25 and see if it helps?
