Do you have Benadryl brain? How it affects your memory...


There are several over-the-counter allergy medications that can actually mess with your memory. 

Some antihistamines, cold and headache remedies and even antacids contain anti-cholinergic drugs that can impair cognitive function and memory. Experts say these drugs can interfere with neurotransmitters in the brain, which we rely on for passing on messages. 

If you’re experiencing forgetfulness and concentration problems when taking over-the-counter or prescription medications, talk with your doctor about the ingredients and ask for an alternative remedy.
