Which of these drugs are most likely to cause problems with memory?

Question

The drugs are:

Xanax, Klonopin, Abilify, and Lexapro (psych meds.)
and
Lipitor, Atenolol, and Norvasc (for cholesterol) and blood pressure)

Answer 1

All I know is that Klonopin caused me to fall UP the stairs and get a big bruise on my forehead--sexy :( don't remember a thing
Xanax did me well, but I took half the pill. I went about my normal day with it.
My friend took Abilify and hated it! She said it was like being lost in outer space.
My Pappy takes Norvasc without any issues.
Everyone reacts differently, so don't rule anything out, but be quick to talk to your doctor if you have a complaint.
Good luck!

Answer 2

I just answered your other question about forgetting the kids names. Well, sheash it could be your meds.
If xanax is new to you then yes it will cause some issues depending on the amount. and mixing it with Norvasc and Atenolol will just add to the side effect.

Blood pressure meds can really cause havoc on memory.
There are brain games you can use to help stimulate the brain. I would get a few and start playing and having fun with it.
I used word games because I was having trouble spelling and remembering dates.
It has helped so much.
You know those games that show two pictures and you have to find the difference in them? those help.

Answer 3

Xanax definitely will, its a benzo ( so is klonopin ) Ablify I have never heard of, assuming is a SSRI like Lexapro? Lexapro can cause problems with memory yes, mostly when you first begin taking the drug. The side effects wear off after several weeks of use and your body stablilizes.
The BP meds are not going to affect memory, those are not producing mind altering effects.
