I am taking clonazepam0.5 mg and escitalopram 5mg. now a days i am suffering from light short term memory loss. how to stop it? pls prescribe me.

Memory loss: Benzodiazepines like Clonazepam can cause short-term memory loss. I suggest talking with the doctor who prescribed you these medicines about this. Dose adjustment or change to another strategy may attenuate this problem. Also, HealthTap doctors do not prescribe medications for patients they have not spoken with or examined.
