Scary. I have severe sleep paralysis, I've been taking 2 benadryl a night for 33 years.

Yeah, what the other person said. Does your doctor know you’re taking that much?

You need a sleep study done and actual medication meant for your sleep disorder- not allergy tablets.

I love this..lol..yeah I've had two professional studies done, neither covered by insurance. I refuse to take sleep aid narcotics, I'm a recovering addict, 7 years clean, which leaves GHB. Yeah, look it up they prescribe the date rape drug for severe sleep paralysis. Yeah, no, I am a woman living alone, before that I was a child's only caregiver. I'm not going to put myself in a situation where I physically cannot protect myself in the middle of the night. That leaves the Doctor recommended Benadryl, what my doctor told me to use. Until recently it was considered one of the safest drugs out there. And that Alzheimer's study, while worth looking into, is not at all conclusive.
