After further research on drugs like clonzapam and ativan, which are benzodiazepines, I do not think the long term effects are worth it. This is especially true since I've watched my grandfather develop dementia after taking one for over 40 years. It's hard to say what is and what isn't worth it. Having less migraines definitely increases my standard of living, but having cognitive impairment that may be long lasting, is not worth it to me. I do think this calls for a re-analysis of my treatment plan. This is very hard. I get confused with all the information. I've tried so many things. One thing I may think ' This Is It! ' stops working or has bad long term effects. I guess it is something migraineurs must keep doing. Do I wish to always be in a battle or overwhelmed, no. But I do wish to trudge on in order to help the migraineurs that come after me.
