Hello, disturbed cognitive function may not only be due to the medications. In young age, common causes of cognitive problems can be nutritional, stress, anxiety, depression and lack of practice.

I am not sure why you feel that Etilaam has affected your cognitive function. Any possible effects it might have had will go away after its discontinuation. Also, do consult your psychiatrist/neurologist to get the reasons why you feel your cognitive functions might be affected. The reasons might be other than Etilaam.

Hi Please consult a Psychiatrist and have a neurocognitive assessment. Anxiety by itself can affect cognitive functions. Medicines you took/take fall in to a group called benzodiazepines. They are licensed for short term use only. Long term use of benzodiazepines ( e.g. years of treatment) can affect cognitive functions. To come off benzodiazepines you need to learn and master psychological techniques. So get advise from clinical psychologist and learn cognitive behavioural therapy techniques. In addition healthy lifestyle will help.
