The studies are mixed and all over the place in regards to Benzos causing dementia. Nothing definitive.

Yeah, I have, it's frankly somewhat alarming. Unfortunately I'm between a rock and a hard spot. Have seen 2 sleep disorder doctors, one told me I had mild apnea while other said I don't have enough to be considered apnea at all? First one order a cpap which doesn't solve my issue at all so I suspect 2nd doctor is right? Problem is I have severe sleep/choking issues that happen at one hour into sleep give or take a few minutes and not every night. These are horrific and 2nd guy prescripoed Klonopin which actually stops them for most part but I do notice some tingling issues and sleep body vibrations. I originally thought these were covid or vaccine related and now I'm wondering if it's the Klonopin. I may actually try and get a third opinion. I was only taking .5 mg at bedtime and now have just cut the pill in half but it isn't quite as effective unfortunately. Crazy stuff as otherwise I'm healthy 65 year old who has had very few issues with my health and never anything serious. I wish there was an alternative to stop these issues but even second guy doesn't know why I'm having them and at almost exact time when they occur. Thanks!
