Xanax has greater lipid solubility than klonopin so would be expected to have cause greater memory impairment. Diazepam has the greatest lipid solubility of all benzos. I've used klonopin, diazepam and ativan. I've experienced some memory impairment with all three. Can't remember which was one was worse :-)
