Complicated: Yes, both Luvox (fluvoxamine) and Klonopin could contribute to cognitive dysfunction. There is also the aging process, stress and undertreated anxiety / depression as confounding factors. Any or all of these could be contributing to the feeling that you have poor memory.

Yes: All benzodiazepine meds including klonopin (clonazepam) can have cognitive side effects such as memory impairment. They should always be taken at the lowest dose necessary and are not usually intended for long term use. Psychiatric disorders themselves can also affect memory. See your mental health provider for treatment alternatives.
