OF course that most meds have side effects, but, this is kind of sides are predominant of Benzos, and when you start to forget even words , well, that is when ATD are use it. Many ATD have anti anxiety side effects without. affecting memory, etc.
For example, if you are a profession, if you must conference, or simple a job exposition , this could be a really big problem as side effect. If you are on University and you are son bezos, forget it, it is almost impossible to remember the most simple things.
Plus, Benzo for some people, can be really, really addictive .
I know I'm coming to this comment really late, but there is reasonable evidence that turmeric helps with the cognitive impairment caused by b€nzos. I'm not saying it is a silver bullet that cures everything, but I think turmeric has helped me. I still forget words, but not as much. And yes I am in a profession at a university that requires a lot of public speaking - but I can manage a 1 hour lecture without notes so I'm managing ok.
Anyway, turmeric capsules are quite cheap and don't seem to have any side effects (for me) so I'm going to carry on taking them. Others using b€nzos regularly might consider investigating turmeric.
