Hi
It can be due to side effects of clonazepam which may cause Short-term memory loss and Anterograde amnesia (common with higher doses) - a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. While problem of speech may be due to clonazepam and olanzapine. So consult with your Doctor openly regarding the problems. In my opinion, prescrbing doxepin, clonazepam, Prozac, olanzapine all at a time might not be needed.
