Afraid of long-term clonazepam side effects

Question

Now I am taking the drug clonazepam and a dose of 0. 5 mg per day as an antidote for Seizure Disorders
The dose of 0.5 mg per day dose is fully supportive for me
The seizure disorders disappeared completely with this dose
I did not find any side effect with the use of (clonazepam)
I read in the Bulletin of the drug include the following: The elderly are more prone to memory problems and you know that maybe i must use this medicine throughout the life I am now in a state of anxiety and fear that the drug affects concentration so I hope explanation is abundant.

When I'm older, will I have memory problems

Answer 1

It is known that long-term use of bezodiazepines, presumably including clonazepam, can sometimes lead to cognitive side effects including  memory impairment. However, this issue remains  insufficiently researched. It is still unclear how common these problems are how reversible they are upon discontinuation of treatment. It appears that in many cases, these cognitive side effects are at least partly reversible. How reversible they are probably depends on many factors, such as duration of treatment, dosage, age, concurrent medication, heredity and so forth -- more research is clearly needed.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_effects_of_benzodiazepines for more on this issue.
