It is possible that the Benzos are causing the
depression. Does it seem that the depression started as you began the benzos.Do you feel comfortable with the diagnosis of social phobia. Did you feel anxiety in other areas of life.
Is is possible that the socaial phobia was a component of underlying depression, which may
be better helped by an antidepressant.Another thing, some describe Valium to be more depressing than Xanax, you may try using only Xanax, (note - if this improves the case then you know that the problem is caused by the benzos)
Talk with your doctor about the alternatives to benzos. Some antidepressants are effective in treating S.P.
