that seems to be associated with benadryl:

which is sometimes used for it's drowsy effect. cetirizine/loratidine are non-drowsy and I don't see any association known with dementia

Benadryl does nothing to me except kill my deep and REM sleep and leave me "sleeping" but conscious. I'm exhausted the next day. I only take cetrizine.


agreed, any drowsy things seem to turn off weird parts of my brain but im left feeling like an awake zombie
