Well, you have to separate cognitive dysfunction from dementia. Just because a drug slows down your thinking, doesn't mean it causes dementia (i.e. neurotoxicity or atrophy). In fact, some meds that slow brain activity are neuroprotective (i.e. lithium). Lithium can cause cognitive dysfunction, but is not linked to dementia.
