You bet it does: Clonazepam possesses substantial anticholinergic characteristics, which can cloud memory, focus, and concentration. Suggest trying a different product.

Is there any reason to think that the daily use of Clonazepam would cause any permanent changes in cognition, memory, or the brain ? Would the same apply if this use was for less than a year?
