infamousiceberg313, I take Xanax for anxiety and I remember everything I do. It's been a life saver and has improved my quality of life greatly.

infamousiceberg313, Xanax does not make you forget. I have severe PTSD and severe anxiety. I have taken Xanax for many years. Sometimes I wish it made me forget, but it never has. Xanax has saved my sanity, before I was prescribed it, without warning I experienced horrible almost catatonic anxiety / panic attacks. I could barely move, but my brain was very alert. I never want to live through that again. I thank God a Dr. prescribed me Xanax. Yes, it can be very addictive, so I set up a schedule, according to the prescription instructions and have not abused them.

Deborah Jackson, But they asked what Halcion was, not Halcyon.

It can be a life saving drug when taken as prescribed. It's when it's abused that you can get some of these symptoms.

That sounds like a medication indeed.

infamousiceberg313, Xanax does not give you amnesia unless maybe you took more than prescribed? It can be a lifesaver to those with severe anxiety, allowing them to function again (and remember it the next day).

infamousiceberg313, I have severe anxiety and have taken Xanax, for more than a decade, AS PRESCRIBED. At no time have I experienced memory loss or had someone describe something I had done, but had no memory of.

surfinmike007, halcion is at least 10 times stronger than those you mentioned. stick to the benzo's and Xanax...much safer

Halcyon is pretty potant stuff and much care has to be given. Got some serious side effects.

Man-made drugs have too many bad side effects. Even Tylenol is thought to contribute to autism in some kids. Marijuana, peyote (mescaline) and psilocybin (magic mushrooms) are just a few of the God-made drugs.

Most doctors in the UK don't like to prescribe benzos as they are so addictive

Different countries have different brand names so it is not a universal question

Kevin, you’re right. Trade names differ from country to country. The generic names are consistent. This question is biased in favour of American participants.

i take insomnia meds and antidepressants and I don't forget. but I'm on low dose, the higher the dose of quetanapine fumarate the more problems the body has. most doctors prescribe more than the person needs and adjusts from there.

AutumnsGoldenGlow, Not necessarily, I have been on narcotics for years for a very painful chronic condition & I never became addicted. When you deal with the type of pain that I have, day in & day out, the narcotics never get me "high" they take away some of the pain but never all. I have never abused them either. No pain is a dream that will never come true for some of us.

Benzodiazepines are associated with early-onset dementia so their use is being discouraged
