Ever hear of Benzo dementia?

Posted by SteelyDan on February 11, 2008, at 17:19:47

My Pdoc told me taking benzos for a long time can cause "Benzo Dementia". I've been on benzos for 27 years, but i am currently tapering off of Klonipin (.25mgs a week). I really think Klonopin is partially causing my depression, it doesn't work for me anymore anyway as i have developed tolerance to it, but i've also developed dependence to it...thus the slow taper. I was on 3mgs. daily, i'm down to 2.25 now and will reduce to 2 mgs. on thursday. I really want to get off of it. BUT..i'm not bashing benzos, i think they are great meds and i'm thankful they are available to us..but for me, just me, i believe at this time they are causing more harm to me then helping me.
