Benzos Did I overdue it and cause permanent damage?

[cellab]

With all of the drugs I have tried I always kept it to a reasonable dosage and spaced it out in a timely order. There is two or three times I can remember where I have taken 3 or 4 2 mg xanax bars on two occasions. Could this amount have caused damage is what I am asking. I know it wasn't a good idea to take so much but I was young and didn't know any better.

How would this compare to say for instance drinking a lot in one night.

Thanks

why are you under the assumption that you have brain damage? It takes years of heavy alcohol abuse to cause significant brain damage and Im sure that applies to benzos as well.

I took clonazepam for 4 years at doses varying from 2mg up to 12mg per day. I don't feel as if it has impaired my cognitive function what-so-ever. I'm sure you're a-okay.

You're concerned about permanent brain damage after 2-3 therapeutical use doses? They can prescribe people 60mg/month of Xanax, for medically approved purposes. Whether taking THAT many benzos long term is a good health choice is highly debatable, but what it can tell us is that your 2 small doses of xanax will not have caused you any harm. Far less harm than any amount of alcohol consumption will do to you.

You won't have done any damage atall from that dose up untill recently I was taking up to 12 mg of clonaz a day for just abit longer than a year the only damage I have done is memory an from stuff I've said when I was fucked on a taper now an memory finally coming back

I have gotta say tho when I was on a high dose of clonazepam my short term memory did suffer a bit and for some odd reason I had decreased motor function in my hands. It was like I would think of what I'd want them to do and my brain would send a signal to my hands but they'd just freeze up. I was scared that it would be permanent but luckily it wasn't.

^ that's the normal effect of high doses of benzos

@op some people end up taking 10s of mgs in one sitting due to blacking out and come out fine. there isn't even the slightest of a chance that that tiny amount alone caused some sort of damage to your body.

Yea I'm the same after abit they turn you into abit of a moron after a bit me an my mate are just as bad conversations just dont work constantly forgetting what we were talking about midway through convo

Benzos are relatively safe physically and mentally in the sense of short term harm. I may do incredibly stupid things while taking benzos but that doesn't mean they are actively dumbing me down. Like comfortablynumb said, even blackout doses won't do any noticeable harm as long as you aren't doing it often. That doesn't mean I'm indorsing taking blackout doses, that would be bad mmkay.

As someone said, benzos are very safe in the short term, assuming you don't combine it with other drugs.
