>Is Zyprexa and/or Klonopin an anticholinergic? My memory is absolute crap :(
Zyprexa is moderately anticholinergic. Klonopin is not anticholinergic as such but produces a substantial decrease in the ability to form new memories. All benzodiazepine anxiolytics and sedatives impair memory, and people often forget what has happened after they've taken them. Benzos are certainly NOT good for cognition! It's really a balancing act between symptom relief and side effects.
