Does long-term use of Xanax cause dementia?
Xanax and medications similar to Xanax (Benzodiazepines) do increase the risk of cognitive deficit, habit formation, tolerance, depression, confusion and falls especially with aging. PTSD itself increases the risk of cognitive deficit and hence a person who has been diagnosed with PTSD and also taking Benzodiazepine like Xanax will be more vulnerable to develop dementia. Having said that, every individual is different and should be assessed case by case. If your doctor has a concern, there must would be a reason behind it. In general, Xanax is recommended for anxiety as a short-term basis, not for several months unless there are other indications to continue. READ MORE
