According to my research, the best drug for this is galantamine (Reminyl, Nivalin). It has been shown in animal studies to counteract the benzodiazepine-induced decrease of ACh release (I forget the specific region of the brain, but it was relevant to memory). They have used it for decades in Eastern Europe to treat benzodiazepine-induced memory imapairment. To treat schizophrenia/psychosis there, at times they would place the patient on up to 20mg/day of clonazepam. The galantamine would help the cognitive symptoms of the schizophrenia while counteracting the clonazepam-induced sedation, memory impairment, and myorelaxation. IMHO, this is far more humane than using e.g. haloperidol!

Try it, it works.
