There are some medications that have been in very long university studies that have now then shown to cause dementia. I was taking a few of these drugs and then when I read that the study I decided to live without them, which is very hard.
(Advil PM, Aleve PM, Bayer PM, Benadryl, Excedrin PM, Nytol, Simply Sleep, Sominex, Tylenol PM, Unisom, etc.) Most Unisom use Benadryl nowadays because the delivery system is different. But in the blue oval tab that I have been taking for the last 30 years when I needed it oh, it had doxylamine succinate, which is more effective and doesn't have any links to dementia.
I'm going to I'm going to have to have surgery something in the next year to correct the problem I take a pill for I. I can really tell on the nights that I take Benadryl for sleep.
I have taken score of the medications on the list. I do not want to get dementia and I can already see it coming. I joke that I have Alzheimer's disease, but I think that is actually somewhat true. Surely I am suffering play some defense dementia because of the medications I've been taking for 10 years or longer. Talk to your doctor if you find any medications on the list that you take.
