Hello, so I have really bad memory because of benzos, it affects me so much that I can’t study anymore…My psychiatrist also said that even if I leave benzos I might not get my memory back, so I’m feeling really down and sad 
Has this happened to any of you before? and what did you did?

Memory is like a muscle, the more you use it. The better it’ll be. Even after stopping Benzodiazepines you may struggle at first but it’s flexible (imo)

I was on benzos for a year.
My memory isn’t the best but I don’t know if it’s all down to benzos.
I found some stuff that meant I could come off benzos :
- Broccoli sprout extract
- L-theanine

Coming off benzos has to he done very gradually. Here’s a post I made about it earlier:
I was on 0.5mg a day of clonazepam, and got horrible withdrawals. The way I eventually came if it was by slowly increasing the amount of days between taking it.
At the beginning I would take it every other day for 2 weeks, then every 3 days for two weeks, etc.
Doing it very slowly was the key.
Good luck coming off it.
I stopped taking diazepam 2 weeks ago. For now I feel fine
