colin Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 been on lorazepam-works pretty good for anxiety. Ive taken it off and on for years. Recently been taking a 1/4 mg every 6 hours-GP would not prescribe klonazepam. he did not explain even when I said it is a smoother drug-less up/down factor. Anyway does anyone know if lorazepam is worse for memory than Klonazepam-I was reading somewhere that it definately was. I just can't remember where I read it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I would think something longer acting and smoother would be better for memory generally, but I'm not sure. I do know my memory worsens overall on benzos, period. Did your doctor give you a reason for not wanting to start you on klonopin? Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yeah, so would I, and I did read specific information saying Lorazepam was ther worst of the bunch- My GP did not give me a reason but I suspect it was because I am a very long term PRN guy with loraz-so he probably wants me to stay that way; however I had some recent upheavals and need it around the clock at least for now.

Thomas Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I hope it isn't my clonazepam messing with my memory. I always attribute the memory loss and cognitive downgrade to be caused by the other meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineKitty Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Memory and benzos dont seem to go hand in had. Benzos disrupt the sleep cycle and has a negative effect on memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan77 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 All I can say is that Ativan at higher doses gave me dreadful amnesia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayate Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 For me. Klonopin and Tranxene do not mess with my memory whatsoever. Xanax, maybe slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
