Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Well..thanks, Sandy...but no delirium or hallucinations here at all. Even though I've been taking it nightly for more than 3 years. But if I ever have 'em -- at least I'll know the reason.. And I'll stop the Benadryl too, smile.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Vicki, Glad to hear it :-) Makes me wonder if the delirium and hallucinations were caused by something else that the people involved in the study were taking. After 60, it's probably the rare person who doesn't take a slew of meds. Sandy > Well..thanks, Sandy...but no delirium or hallucinations here at all.
