@davidclay123 Benzos are really dangerous substances, I can tell you that both from my medical studies and from personal experience. The severity of the withdraw is of course very much dependent from the dosage...I went from 10mg daily to zero in 24 hours and what I can tell you is that I was almost incapable to control my anxiety/depression symptoms...it was a very severe situation....I suggest you to consult a doctor to find some other therapy to help you with your sleeping disorder in order to stop taking Diazepam as soon as you can.
As for the memory loss is completely normal, your brain is slowed down, so your attention levels and overall cognitive capabilities are impaired.
hope to have been helpful
