I can't recall if I have had problems with amnesia.

Bwahahaha! I couldn't resist.

I develop software for a living which requires some mental acrobatics and I'm doing great. The biggest thing that ever caused me mental issues was the TOS and neck tension which would leave me feeling dizzy / light-headed.

Diazepam does make me feel a little spacey. Recently I'm trying to use it just at night so that I can focus better in the morning. The good results I'm getting from the stretch+rib adjustment as well as other kinds of progress has made me feel like I can try this.

I would be interested to know at what threshold of dosage the literature says that benzos can cause amnesia or any other problems. I was only doing 2 mg 2 X per day.

In a nutshell, on that dosage, I didn't notice any concerning effects.
