Forgetfulness
As prescribed for BPHD i gave my mother 10mg of oleanz and .5 mg of clonazipam for a week now but there's another issue arising she's forgetting everything, she forgot what happened just 2 days ago, is it something to do with the medications should i change the dosage? Or it's part of what the medications does? Because even when she stops she's still having issues remembering things and this started only after her taking the medications.

Hi. The diagnosis needs some clarification. It is likely to be BPSD which says behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. If that is the case memory difficulties can be part of her illness itself. However will need detailed history and assessment for confirmation in case the diagnosis is different.
