Would you agree with the statement of this article? https://betterhealthwhileaging.net/medications-to-avoid-if-worried-about-memory/ It claims there are five classes of meds that may give lower cognitive function, and those are benzodiazepines (obviously), Z- (zolpidem, zopiclone), anticholinergics, mood stabilizers and neuroleptics. I am taking two drugs in those classes and observing worse cognitive ability which is why I am very much interested in this topic. Thanks.

Prozac — 40 mg — 6 months — holding | Zyprexa — 20 mg — 6 years — holding | Depakote — 600 mg — 8 months — **tapering** | Buspirone — 20 mg — 8 months — holding | with clinician
