CONNECT WITH ME:
Benzodiazepines like Xanax, Valium, and Ativan are commonly prescribed for anxiety and insomnia—but long-term use can raise your risk of dementia by up to four times.
In this video, I break down the science behind how these drugs affect memory, the evidence linking them to dementia, and why the damage may be reversible after stopping. I’ll also share safer alternatives for sleep and anxiety, plus what to know if you’re considering tapering off.
