A member asked:

Can metformin and lisinopril and anthenol mess with memory. i take these meds for blood pressure and diabetes.?

Anything is possible: It is not a common experience, but it is possible. The one med that appears to be missing from your regimen which could also contribute is a statin medication. Of all the meds i would suspect the statin or atenolol are most likely to interefere with cognition.

Usually no: Generally those meds are tolerated very well. Atenolol can cause depression in some people which may be leading to memory issues. You should mention this to your doc and see if you need blood work done to evaluate any possible medication side-effects. Medications should always be considered as the cause of new or unusual symptoms, so you are right to think about these issues being due to meds.
