I've been on 2 to 2.5 mg. of Xanax per day for over a year...I haven't experienced loss of memory...but maybe I don't remember forgetting something. LOL! No seriously, I'm a litigation paralegal, and if I was having major memory issues, it would be very apparent in my work.
I've taken Valium in place of Xanax, but as you already pointed out, I don't like the peak effects. Valium stays in your system for at least 12 hrs., Xanax is in and out in 4 to 5 hrs. This is why I prefer Xanax, since I keep late hours, I don't have to worry about being too sleepy in the morning if I take it after 12:00 or 1:00 a.m. Alternatively, after only one 10 mg. valium, on some mornings, it was SO HARD to get outta bed.
Plus, I can get by taking small doses of Xanax during the day without nodding out in my office (or over sleeping on a lunch break in my car...).
Another good benzo (previously mentioned) is Restoril (Temezepam). It's much easier to get from a doc, not as addictive, and is a good sleepy time pill. But, like it's cousin Valium, it lasts long in your system. Plus, it comes in capsules rather than scored pills--which is an issue with some folks. I prefer a pill...something about tasting it go down, but I'll take it anyway I can get it in a pinch!
