Commonly used drugs appear to damage your brain and greatly increase your risk of dementia.
This guy explains the problem clearly in this 8 minute video. I stopped using antihistamines like Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and Doxolamine (Equate and Unisom) to help with minor sleep issues when I learned about this and I recommend others do the same. Occasional use of these drugs is unlikely to cause long term harm, but it's important to understand what to avoid and why.
