THC Xanax (alprazolam) Memory: Hello. Combination of these two medications don't support good long term cognition especially in a young person as yourself. Memory loss is unfortunately not a surprise especially with these two agents combined. Best way to see if you have the capacity for regaining lost memory is weaning off Xanax (alprazolam) per your provider's instructions and significantly laying off THC.. Clear out the cob webs!
