Q: do gabba receptors heal and go back to functioning normally after stopping clonazepam? was taking .5mg clonazepam for 20 years?

: Was not aware that benzodiazepines damaged brain receptors, but they do interact to modify outcomes. Would anticipate stable functioning over a period of several months once chemical homeostasis is restored.
