i hope all goes good for you

yes benzo's can cause memory problems. i was on klonopin for 10 years off and on and finally got off for good cold turkey until i almost died so it took months (but then i suffered benzo withdrawal syndrome and so it really took years for all effects to go away and it was hell) id say my memory was 25 percent working and now maybe 40-50 percent. (but it could also be the combination of anti psychotics, stimulants,.anti seizure, ambien and other tranquilizers, high blood pressure, anti depressants, other benzo's, etc lots more meds and the way id over take them and also my addiction to alcohol plus how much i drank and all the alcohol with the meds and my stint for a few years i had with pain killers that i got addicted to, otc sleep meds like nyquil, marijuana and coke, for a while too, ...... so now i feel what's the big deal but I'm getting older so i don't want to ruin my brain and health anymore regardless if some of the damage is irreversible. i just know that wake med is the worst hospital ever! did i mention i went from 230 to 120 pounds in 2 years because i stopped eating bc i wanted to be thin so.... i think i started to become anorexic... i can name more but I'll stop at,that

people .especially the young people.... don't do drugs, don't smoke, don't drink, be careful getting on certain meds and if u get on then take em as prescribed, eat healthy,etc ya know.. seriously take care of your bodies

life might be boring and lonely at times, dealing with the past is hard but it feels good being clean... don't know who can relate but glad those days are over AND I BLAME THE DOCS FOR MOST OF IT BC IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WAS PRESCRIBED AND THEY KNEW ABOUT MY ALCOHOL PROBLEM AND THEY NEVER ENFORCED THESE THINGS AND THEY KEPT GIVING THEM WHILE I WAS IN A NIGHTMARE FOG INTI I,.YES ME, I CHECKED MYSELF IN TO A HOSPITAL NOT A DOCTOR THE DOCTOR JUST WANTED TO CHANGE FROM THIS OR THAT AND ETC THEN QUIT WHEN MY MOTHER THREATEN

so anyway

i still eat junk food but that's all i can afford.
