An Article I Found

I'm sure many of you have already read this article. I just found this on Google and find it a bit alarming.

Thanks for posting this.

 

I am going to try to find the source documents in the article that indicate that there are morphological changes in the brain.

 

The key question is: what is the clinical significance, if any,  of these changes in the brain structure?  I don’t think we will find an answer to that question, even from the source documents and references......

 

The other key question is, given that the brain is extremely plastic, are these changes permanent (Ie, even several years out after tapering the drug) from a structural perspective and/or a clinical perspective? 

 

 

Thanks again.....

There was a recent meta-study that said there is no greater incidence of Dementia in those whotake Benzos.

Ajusta, that's good to hear.
