In reply to benzodiazepines (clonazepam) - mental clarity, posted by sdb on January 24, 2008, at 17:27:23
I used to take every benzo under the sun when I was about 17 through to 19. I don't know how I even finished high school. They used to turn my memory to mush. My friends (the few I now have) said that they remember they used to have conversations with me about stuff and I couldn't recall any of it the next day. It pissed them off apparently. Hmm....
Funny - I remember being prescribed flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) to help me sleep. Used to knock me out for 24 hrs. But it was the BEST thing to take coming down off speed.
Now I believe it's more widely known for it's ability to help you make new friends at bars....(sic). Talk about knock-out pills...!
Hence I can't see how benzos would help you concentrate. Amphetamines and methlphenidate for sure and maybe the anti-depressants but I'd never take benzos before an exam. Unless of course you knew you were going to flunk it & wanted to make the experience as enjoyable as possible (??)
Maybe you should try to do some different tests. Like the MENSA entry tests, etc.
