A member asked:
Can you help with benzodiazepine to reverse cognitive impairment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In some cases: If the impairment is due to excessive anxiety, then benzodiazepines can be helpful in improving rational thinking and more fully using your intrinsic intelligence. These meds however do not increase intelligence, and in many cases, will impair it. The right med for the right issue is clearly the standard physicians and patients must strive to uphold.
