"mood stabilization for depression"
That statement with regard to benzos doesn't make clinical sense. They are given for anxiety that is their purpose. They are a bitch to come off of. If you have anxiety you might want to use them as a last resort. There is no easy answer or magic pills for mental health issues.
So way the pros and the cons. Do you want to put a potentially addictive substance in your body for long term? Not a good idea.
