These are some of the most common drugs that cause various cognitive health issues, including memory loss:
1. Statin drugs
Statin drugs are usually used to regulate high cholesterol levels although they are harmful and can lead to brain damage.
¼ of the brain is made of cholesterol, which is extremely important for memory, thinking, and learning. Statin drugs come with various side effects and can cause memory loss.
2. Sleeping pills
Sleeping pills can cause memory loss and lead to a state, like being drunk or in coma. In fact, they don’t regulate the sleep needed to the body to recover itself.
Ambien is a popular drug that can cause night terrors, sleep driving, sleep walking, and hallucinations.
3. ‘Anti’ drugs
The anti drugs, including antipsychotics, antispasmodics, antidepressants, antibiotics, antihypertensive, antihistamines, affect the levels of acetylcholine in the body, the main neurotransmitter for memory and learning.
Low levels of acetylcholine can cause blurred vision, mental confusion, hallucinations, dementia, delirium, and memory loss. Anticholinergic are drugs that block the effects of acetylcholine.
