The Residual Medium and Long-term Cognitive Effects of Benzodiazepine Use: An Updated Meta-analysis

3 Likes

All the pills we reach for have their consequences.

Benzos sure feel good though, especially when I had restless leg syndrome. Luckily for me, the akathisia is rare these days and I haven’t had a benzo for over 5 years.

This study is bad news for many szs though.

You talk about them as if they were just another feel good drug, and not medications for anxiety and other conditions.

IS it possible the long term cognitive effects are due to an underlying illness, like schizophrenia, diagnosed or undiagnosed? @firemonkey

Fair point. Unfortunately I can’t access the full paper via sci-hub to check further. All attempts to access any articles are resulting in an “article not found” message.

It seems the big publishing companies who are against the sharing of information,except to those who can pay exorbitant sums , have got their way.

An example of capitalism at its greedy worst.
