Chemist,
I have performed several memory, cognition, cognitive, etc. searches on Pub Med re: alprazolam and memory without finding anything definitive. I found one study that indicated improvement in healthy (I assume non-anxious) subjects at .375 mg tid.I also discussed this with my pdoc and to some extent we agree that there might be memory problems, but some of the comments in studies merely cite "the well known memory problems." While I find I have memory problems, I'm 62 y/o, I don't know how much is xanax and how much is anxiety. Hence the dose question for you and others.
BTW, it's possible that some research giant, such as MR Liebowitz, who created the LSAS, the Liebowitz social anxiety scale, said many years ago that bzds cause memory problems and thereafter, everyone took it a gospel.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Regards,
BobS.
