It can because it's a central nervous system depressant so can cause brain fog and other cognitive issues.
I agree with @babs10 regarding short-term use, however not everyone has that option. For example, people with seizure disorders. Unfortunately, illnesses like epilepsy are rarely short-term conditions.
There are 6 benzodiazepine anticonvulsant meds used for epilepsy, three of which are primarily used as emergency meds.
Seizure medications like most other drugs are not usually user-friendly.
Take care,
