Despite #allergy #shots, #nasal #sprays, and #antihistamines, just 30 minutes outside starts #AllergyHell. Ah, #Spring. ๐ฃ

Does bupropion, as a potent #cyp450 CYP2D6 inhibitor, cause similar stuff with CYP2D6 #antihistamines chlorphenamine or triprolidine like it does with dextromethorphan #dxm?
If you have seasonal #allergies / #hayfever and take "first generation" #antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine), Chlor-trimeton (chlorpheniramine), or any oral med that makes you drowsy...
Consider switching to topical meds (eye drops, nasal spray) and/or oral Allegra (fexofenadine) to improve cognitive function and avoid increased risk of #dementia. Allegra has by far the least impact in this regard.

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.
