How to boost cognition/sleepiness if you take benzo daily

Medications
1

I have to take this benzo called clobazam 20mg daily due to severe ocd. But it comes with a cost, my cognition is little declined and I’m feeling tired/sleepy. FIsh oil helps with cognition but not tired/sleepiness

Any solutions ?

Caffeine helps me stay awake and not nap during the day. I sleep around 9h/night.

I only tolerate tea, not coffee. Coffee makes me paranoid. I drink multiple cups of tea with sugar which gives me energy.

Would like to correct myself, i take high dose benzo due to anxiety associated with ocd. Plus I’m reading online that stimulants can worsen ocd.

Tea is worsening your ocd?

Not much.

That’s a high dosage of benzo. I’m on a pretty high alprazolam dosage for panic attacks, it also affects more of my memory, cognition, i black out sometimes. I haven’t found a solution.
