Permanent damage from Benzodiazepines?

Posted by crittercuddler on December 30, 2008, at 17:35:01

Is anyone keeping up to date on research about whether "chronic" benzodiazepine usage can cause permanent damage to the brain? Specifically, by permanently altering the GABA receptor and GABAs actions in the brain?

I have discussed this issue on another forum here, under the same posting name.
http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=11415.0

If you are interested, please read my posts there to understand my line of reasoning for being concerned.

I am 6 months benzo free from a usage of 1.5 years. I am not any better than I was when I first weaned off in many ways. In some ways, I am actually worse. :-(

I am terrified.

Thanks.
