[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 703583, member: 19245"] I do not want to risk it having had a brain tumor of unknown origin makes many things suspect. I think that drugs that 'turn down' your brain maybe 'turn' it down permanently after they are taken daily for several years. I have no idea. I took benadryl daily for over 3 years, so I stopped. I took ativan about twice a month when my ill son was violent so that I would not have simple partial seizures, staying awake but losing feeling, which can be brought by stress or fear. I won't risk anything that it suspect. I still eat sugar free candy because of my blood sugar levels. That is bad for you, as well. I guess that it is best to cut back on most things and just use sleep aid drugs in moderation. But, I understand. It is the chicken or the egg question. It is like with Alzheimer's when they find a high amount of aluminum in the brain during autopsies. Does the disease cause excessive aluminum, or does excessive use of aluminum products cause the disease? UCLA advises you not to drink out of aluminum soda cans, use aluminum pans, or use anti-perpirant because it contains aluminum chloride. I think that melatonin is safe because it is present naturally in our bodies. But, it gives me horribly graphic dreams, so I don't use it. 'Pleasant dreams'... I am going to be zombie for work tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
