What Causes Memory Loss After Taking Paxil And Xanax?

Was Paxil included in the anticholinergic study? My husband age 84 has been on Paxil and Xanax for anxiety and major depression for many years. Since it studied only 60 people is it relevant enough to be concerned as he has had some memory problems in the past year. Concern enough to try to stop the Xanax?

Hello,

His memory problems are not related to paxil or xanax. In my opinion, this is just related to aging and not caused by any drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
