Does the brand of sleep aid you buy have anything else added besides
Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride? (Not including xantham gum and all that
stuff.)
I've never tried a sleeping pill, but I did use Benedryl a few months back
when I had the severe reaction to antibiotics. I suppose if I had constant
allergies, I'd try something else than expensive Benedryl -- I know there
are generics, but I'm not a generics "kind of person" -- tee hee.

I could add that 'MMVH' or something-or-other which means 'to each his own,'
or something like that, but I've forgotten it already.
I do know, PAW -- isn't that "Parents are Watching"?
