The short term effects statement were part of one article of many,as i stated if the terms These observations suggest that benzodiazepine use is actualy protective on the brain.
Scott as usual nailed it,anxiety is a toxic over firing state much like a seizure,and much like a seizure this heated over active over firing state is toxic which might explain most anti anxiety agents are indeed actual anti convulsants just in miniscure doses.The thinking i imagine is a similiar toxic issue is at hand so why not use the same treatment only at a much much much smaller dose.
But here is another article from an extremly reputable site,
"The protective effects of stress control may be mediated by increased brain levels of benzodiazepine receptor agonists."
Heres the article,and i said google this and look for strictly medical sites and youll be amazed at the results.And like scot said at doses most benzos are used,for example im on klonopin 1-2 mg i have no memory or cogntive impairment at all.
A famous doc on the use of benzos actualy stated the opposite,he stated that in a toxic anxiety full stated your mind is a mess,you cant think straight,and a very small pieace of klonopin that clamps down and calms that and allow you to think clearly instead not only does NOT DECREASE cogntive iimpairment but instead raises COGNTIVE ENHANCMENT AND CLEARER CALMER THINKING
This article can be found with a google of DR CHENEY KLONOPIN its a very interesting perspective on klonopin.
And i forgot who mentioned they were on 6 mg of their benzo,no insult implied i swear but concern,i never seen anxiety so bad that required such a high dose,its actual not the standard either,was there a reason it was so high,im not surprised you suffered on it that must have been very tough to manage dealling with,im proud of you.
