Long Term Lonazep Side-effects

I, a 19 year old girl Had been suffering from severe iron deficiency anemia since 2008,but was misdiagnosed with anxiety disorder and put on Lonazep 0.25(for insomnia due to anemia). I took it for 14 months before being put on iron replacement therapy. Within a month I started having normal sleep and withdrew Lonazep, but by this time I had developed impaired balance, cognitive debilities and amnesia.Six months have passed since then but I still suffer from the side-effects, although they have reduced slightly.Is it going to be permanent brain damage? What do I do? Cannot study properly and understand any longer,doing poorly in college.Please inform me about how long it is taking to get better.

Did you mean Clonazepam, the active ingredient in Klonopin?

If so, there is no way to say for certain if the symptoms you have been having were caused by it, because they can also be caused by the anemia. Effects from medications will wear off, a month or so, after you stop taking it.

However, problems from health issues, such as anemia, that were misdiagnosed and untreated for such a long period of time, might be permanent.

Have you asked your doctor about this? They would know more than we do, since this site is not medical professionals.
