A member asked:
Can diazepam cause permanent cognitive deficits?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not likely: While taking diazepam you may experience"cognitive deficits" probably like drinking alcohol. When you stop the diazepam and it clears from your system, there is not likely to be any residual issues. Of course long term use may give you withdrawal symptoms when you taper and stop the drug

No: Stopping the med should quickly resolve any cognitive side effects. If it does not, look for other causes.
