> How come after 30some odd years of benzo use no memory impairment? I've gone off them several times no meds at all it was only when My thyroid went that ad's were added and the problems began. So I do not like ad's at all. I will stick with benzos any day. And I take the same or rather less than I did to start. Go figure. Love Phillipa
Phillipa this is interesting... I went to Biofeedback therapist who claims I have a thyroid problem. I had my TSH and T3 levels measured, and was just a bit below the 'average' range. The biofeedback therapist, however, using her allegedly sophisticated computer, insists that my thyroid is dysfunctional... and recommends I start supplementation with bovine thyroid.
So you're saying that when you're thyroid was working properly, you had no/little problem with benzo induced amnesia..... can i ask what benzo and dosage you were on? I currently take 3-6mg of clonazepam... and it just obliterates my memory... but on lower doses I'm neurotic and obsessive... I've literally tried everything. Do you think there could be a connection between thyroid problems and benzo induced amnesia.. Thanks so much for your input..
