I don't know how we get memory back. I have been taking Ativan for 30 years. It hasn't affected me yet. I probably need it for the rest of my life. I take Paxil with it. It saved my life years ago and I can't worry about getting Alzheimers disease.

It should be up to the individual but unfortunately I think Benzos are going the way the opioids have gone. The government will require doctors not to prescribe for more than two weeks or so and taper their longtime patients off. That’s why I’ve started the tapering process myself. I want to have some control and don’t want to be forced off.
