Well, now there’s this: http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/2011/09/28/97001-20110928FILWWW00567-un-lien-entre-somniferes-et-alzheimer.php
If you don’t speak French, the gist is this—According to a new study in France, reported today on lefigaro.fr, between 16,000 and 31,000 cases of Alzheimer’s (annually, in France) may be attributable to the long-term use of a class of drugs known as Benzodiazepines. Medications in this class include:
Ativan / Lorazepam
Dalmane / Flurazepam
Halcion / Triazolam
Klonopin / Clonazepam
Librium / Chlordiazepoxide
Restoril / Temazepam
Serax / Oxazepam
Valium / Diazepam
Xanax / Alprazolam
One of the researchers called it a “bombshell” finding. Just thought this ought to be passed along.
