Yep. That "mild" sedative (Umm... I
forget what it was...

were? Egad!

I don't
recall any memory loss from the minimal doses of benzodiazapines I've been given sporadically over the years. But... if I don't remember memory loss, does that mean it didn't happen—or that it did... I'M SO CONFUSED!!!


The ones that [I
remember] hit me worst were in the antidepressant & antiseizure groups—all given for chronic pain, and none of them worked for that... as I recall.
Though I lament all the deleterious effects they've had on me, I've got to consider it posthumorously*.
