The more research I read the more leery I get of #benzodiazepines ("#benzos" like xanax, valium, etc) and #anticholinergics (including allergy pills like benadryl & even some "non-drowsy" #antihistamines, and other #drugs).

The short term cognitive impacts are well known. The cumulative #dementia risk? Not so many people have heard of that. But the evidence so far looks bad.
