In what way do you feel it impairs memory? I just know the older I get the more I see what was considered safe with no long term side effects is now something that could,does. But the bottom line is that those that get Alzheimers are agitated so benzos are given to them to calm them. So then they are used to treat. Seems even they don't work now since I read the studies. I used to trust them inexplicably. I find I don''t trust doctors anymore. Why because when I discuss what I've read they have said they haven't heard of this at all. And if they now know this why do they continue to give new patients benzos . My comment of the new meds was that I've read on here or seen not really in life where now the new antipsychotics are prescribed. I think this trend is dying out also. Soon I feel that meds will again be reserved for those with chronic mental illness such as schizophrenia and the worse of the bipolars. I often wonder what would have happened if that mistake hadn't been make with you as you have mentioned early on with some med. Daily I see people hairdresser, so many people taking SSRI's & SNRI's for shall I call them complaints that wouldn't have necessitated a med years ago. Now society is filled with working , functional people taking meds for things that wouldn't have called for a med years ago. LIke prozac for PMS. Oh well will stop now. I am angry at me for believing this stuff when young and angry now that what I thought was safe is now toted as nonsafe basically. Phillipa
