Question: How long have you been using benzodiazepine!?
have you gotten a little stupid compared to before you did!? we know that using marifuana for long years will make you stupid!. so naturally benzos will harm your IQ too right!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
The answer is NO!. I am not "using"!. I have been prescribed benzos now for eight years but I am weaning off of them because I do not want to be on them for the rest of my life and I do not recommend anyone getting on them unless it is an absolute last resort that you and your Dr!. have discussed because they have such addictive properties!. I do not feel physically addicted to them and cannot even tell if I have missed a dose but I know from facts that obviously my body is addicted to the chemicals!. Actually, I have been in therapy, have learned more, read more, work more!. I am able to do more!. I believe you live and you learn!. I have only gained more wisdom and therefor have more intelligence ;o)Www@Answer-Health@Com
I've been on Lorazepam for over a year (previous to that I was on Diazepam, Nitrazepam and Temazepam)!.
Do they make me stupid!?
I don't think they do - not in terms of IQ!. They make me seem a bit 'daft' - reactions are slower (understandably - if your muscles are 'relaxed' your responses will be slower)!. Of course there is the additional problems with being addicted, which may mean that Benzo's have an indirect relation to IQ, for example if you have symptoms of dependancy like increased anxiety then your attention may be focussed on perceived threats & therefore the capacity you have to undertake tasks may be decreased!. It doesn't reduce the person's actual IQ but it could influence an 'IQ test'!.
Long-term, I don't think Benzo's affect IQ, no!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
