I've been on benzos for over 37 years. Started with valium 5mg Tid and miltown was the 70's functioned very well raising family then cold turkey the miltown no side effects at all stayed on valium cause didn't need as much gradually cut down. Then ativan out on that a while. Now klonopin could never take xanax did well on it. My whole family is on benzos and we're not brain damaged. Graduated magna cum laude from nursing school ran own aerobics business and then nursed for lots of years was fine and at times only on .125 of xanax which pdoc said was like a placebo. Now on valium 12.5 and .5 xanax. Was even benzo free at different times in life. So I don't feel they harm a person's brain my opinion only. Phillipa
