Does anyone on here use klonopin for anxiety and is experiencing memory issues?

Welcome SOULCARESS to a caring and understanding community.

Overwhelming Anxiety alone can cause us to experience some memory

loss as our thoughts are going in every direction. Of course your doctor

is the one who can give you a professional answer according to your health

history.

Implementing stress relief each day upon awakening and before bed can allow

our subconscious mind as well as body to relax. Going into this meditative state

can allow you to get a refreshing REM sleep which is all important in how we

think as well as react each day.

I'm happy that you are here with us. Please keep us updated on your progress.

We care xx

I agree with Agora that stress can itself cause memory problems. Check with your doctor, and also ask if the dose of klonopin you are taking is appropriate. xx

in 1976 David Knott, a physician at the University of Tennessee, warned about benzodiazepine causing short-term memory loss and permanent damage to the cerebral cortex of the brain.
