I need your help and opinions, /sci/anons.
>Panic attacks beginning age 11, unresponsive to therapy or SSRIs
>Prescribed low therapeutic dose of clonazepam (0.5 mg)
>Stay on this dose for 5 years, massively decreased anxiety, feelsgoodman
>No issues with withdrawing, but anxiety increases and become even more socially withdrawn
>Now have issues with remembering peoples' names, concentration, ambition
I'm not looking for sympathy or reassurance. I just want to know if any of you have a similar history and if you're doing fine cognitively, or do you feel braindead a lot of the time? It's either permanent effects from the benzos or underlying anxiety and depression scrambling my brain, and I want to know which. So by all means provide anecdotes.
