I've been eating benzos regularly for a few years now. Binge for a couple weeks, stop for a couple weeks.
Never had a single withdrawal symptom.
The only negative thing I have experienced is acting like a dumbass when I drink alcohol on them.
And feeling like the next morning.

I'm glad a couple people were able to critically read the cited article which says that benzos MAY be having this effect. That's all it says.

Well damn. I've been on 6mg a day for twelve years. I lost my mind that long ago anyway. I'm forgetful and my mind gets scatterbrained enough already. It's better than being batshit insane and I don't anticipate living past 55 anyway.

Well you can use MAY for anything.

Actually, I think all you'd really need is a prospective study, as opposed to this retrospective one. When you have relatively large sample size studies like this one (e.g., thousands of subjects), it's fairly easy to retrospectively correlate things like benzo use and Alzheimers. Given the near infinite number of variables present in humans, there are probably hundreds of things correlated with the development of Alzheimers.
-------------------- ...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge. It is an indellible experience; it is forever known. I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did. Smith, P. Bull. Menninger Clinic (1959) 23:20-27; p. 27. ...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely. Osmond, H. Annals, NY Acad Science (1957) 66:418-434; p.436

Quote:
The researchers acknowledge that the use of benzodiazepines could be just a signal that people are trying to cope with anxiety and sleep disruption—two common symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease. If that’s true, their use of a benzodiazepine may not be a factor in causing dementia but an indication it is already in progress.
Knock yourselves out, freakshows. Your brain is already fucked anyway. Play with it while you still have it.
