Hi,he seems to be on a combination of anxiolytic and antidepressant.Does he have another problem other than memoryloss?He needs family support and confidence building measures and training.Peer pressure and parental pressure arebprobably contributory.It s unwise to continue unless the drugs are prescribed by a psychiatrist.All the best

Hi Dear thanks for your question,your brother has failed in examination and failed to remember things.Dear there is no proven drug which can increase memory,that too in young person ,though some medicine do claims so.,Advice your brother to concentrate more on studies rather than taking help of drugs.drugs are not going to help him .only his will power and concentration along with hard work will bring the result,however if your brother is having some psychiatric problems ,drug will help him, The drugs prescribed to your brother by doctor are used for obsessive compulsive disorder and for depression,i cannot tell from this history ,whether your brother is having such problems or not,Doctor must have examined him ,and only then he might have prescribed these medicine,Discuss with your doctor is his learning impairment is due to these diseases.
