In reply to Benadryl/cat allergies - brain damage?, posted by AMD on December 28, 2005, at 9:17:23
hi AMD,
allergies won't cause you cognitive decline. They may cause you itching, swelling and runny nose, though! I suffer from allergies myself, esp. hayfever, so I can really sympathize with you.For long term use, you may want to see a doctor and get something like Claritin or Clarinex. I think Benadryl works GREAT, but it does make people sleepy, and I'm not sure it's the right one for long-term use.
Did you know that some people use Benadryl as a gentle relaxant when they're stressed or want to sleep better? Since it makes one sleepy, some people claim it can relax them a bit.
How are you feeling today? Is the cat still there?
good luck!
