Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello thanks for putting a query on HCM

I can understand your concern. Zolpidem is a z drug used for insomnia. Alzam is Alprazolam and is a benzodiazepine drug. Both drugs are known to result in forgetfulness, poor focus and concentration. Even these are known to worsen memory loss in dementia. If the drugs are resulting in memory impairment in your case then visit a psychiatrist for help.

Thanks and Take care
